The Content Marker Macro identifies content that can be displayed using the Display Table Macro. This is a short tip on how to transclude content from a projectdoc document.
Assume you have a number of documents that contain information you want to display side-by-side in an overview document. You can use the Display Table Macro to grab properties and sections from a projectdoc document. But what if the content you need to display is not in a section or you want to display only parts of a section?
Sections without Name
Authors may always suppress the rendering of a section. So if the content to be transcluded is indeed a section, but you do not want to render the title of the section, this is the way to go. Use the Section Macro to define sections.
Transclude the content by the unique title by the use of the Display Table Macro.
Arbitrary Content
If you do not have a section, but a chunk of data that needs to be identified, use the Content Marker Macro. You can use this macro to identify a snippet inside a section or document.
Set the identifier for a piece of information you need to mark in a number of documents.
Again, use the Display Table Macro to select the content from the matching documents.

| It is easy to list all pages that transclude a section from the current page. This allows you, as an author, to check quickly if changes to a document that is transcluded, needs changes to the transcluding documents. |
