Question

I want to have in my topic A link to topic B + heading 1 from B. Must i use INCLUDE+regexp or INCLUDE+section or is there something easier like [[B B.%H1%]] ?

Example, topic B contains
---+ This is B
...

Topic A should contain:
...
[[B]]This is B (where the text 'This is B' comes from topic B). One possibility is as I wrote:
[[B]]%INCLUDE{"B" pattern="..."}%but something shorter would be probably very useful, eg.
[[B B.%H1%]]

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

You cannot specify anything with an object-like syntax.

You either have to get the first headline text using a formatted search or using INCLUDE.

If the B topic has a form, you can make a title field in the form.

In B you write

---++ %FORMFIELD{"title"}%

In A you write

[[B]] %FORMFIELD{"title" topic="B"}%

And then you can change the title by editing the field in the form of B.

With INCLUDE you do can solve the same task like this

TopicB:

---+ %STARTSECTION{"headline"}%This the Test Headline%ENDSECTION{"headline"}%

and in TopicA

[[TopicB]] %INCLUDE{section="headline" "TopicB"}%

Note that if the topic name is a WikiWord then you do not need the [[]] notation.

If you want the headline to be a link then make topic linking like

[[TopicB][%INCLUDE{section="headline" "TopicB"}%]]

An object oriented ContentAccessSyntax is currently at the discussion stage; a logical step to make TWiki stronger as an TWikiApplications platform.
