STARTSECTION -- marks the start of a section within a topic

• • type="section" - the default, used for a generic section, such as a named section used by INCLUDE.
  • type="include" - like %STARTINCLUDE% … %STOPINCLUDE% except that you can have as many include blocks as you want which are all merged into one when included (%STARTINCLUDE% is restricted to only one). Sections of type include may not be given a name.
  • type="expandvariables" - all macros inside an "expandvariables" type section gets expanded when a new topic based on the template topic is created. See TemplateTopics for more information.
  • type="templateonly" - start position of text to be removed when a template topic is used. This is used to embed text that you do not want expanded when a new topic based on the template topic is created. See TemplateTopics for more information.

Parameters

If a section is not given a name, it will be assigned one. Unnamed sections are assigned names starting with _SECTION0 for the first unnamed section in the topic, _SECTION1 for the second, etc..

You can define nested sections. It is not recommended to overlap sections, although it is valid in Foswiki. Use named sections to make sure that the correct START and ENDs are matched. Section markers are not displayed when a topic is viewed.

Examples

• %STARTSECTION{"name"}% …................ %ENDSECTION{"name"}%
• %STARTSECTION{"name" type="section"}% …. %ENDSECTION{"name" type="section"}% (type="section" is the default)
• %STARTSECTION{type="include"}% …........ %ENDSECTION{type="include"}%
• %STARTSECTION{type="expandvariables"}% … %ENDSECTION{type="expandvariables"}%
• %STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% …... %ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%
