Yah, "transclusion" is definitely not the first word any normal person thinks of :-) I looked through the installed extensions on the LibO Wiki... but I didn't spot LST in there. So, it's probably not installed. This means you can transclude whole pages, but (as far as I know) you cannot transclude parts of pages. I don't know how interesting LST might be for people. It has its good and bad points like any MWiki extension.
