That's an interesting discussion. I think it's new. I cant remember, that we did discuss it yet. ...
At tiddlywiki.com we have the following tiddlers that explain how we use the transclusion mechanism. See: Doc links <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Transclusion:Transclusion%20%5B%5BTransclusion%20Basic%20Usage%5D%5D%20%5B%5BTransclusion%20in%20WikiText%5D%5D%20%5B%5BTransclusion%20and%20Substitution%5D%5D%20%5B%5BTransclusion%20with%20Templates%5D%5D%20TemplateTiddlers%20TranscludeWidget> - Transclusion - Transclusion in WikiText - Transclusion Basic Usage - Transclusion with Templates - Transclusion and Substitution - TextReference - TemplateTiddlers - TranscludeWidget We talk about the proposed "transcludee" as a basic "transclusion". The term "transcluder" isn't used because it doesn't really matter. When tiddlers are displayed, transclusions are transparent. Users only see them if they open the tiddler in edit mode. So a "transcluder" is just a *tiddler*. ... In a slightly different context we talk about "transcludees" as a "*text references*". So the term we use is "text reference", because it's that what it does. In another context we call the "transcludee" a "*template*" because it does a slightly different thing as a standard transclusion. Templates can be compared to parametrized transclusion <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion#Parameterization> where the resulting text uses variables to create a "new" text output. So in reality we have terms for different types of transcludees, which imo makes that term obsolete. I think it's not precise enough. Tiddler, transclusion, text-reference and template are the terms we have already established, to precisely describe how transclusions are used with TiddlyWiki. just some thoughts mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
