This is a feature for wiki that doesn't exist yet.

It would be nice to be able to include a property of a topic, not just a topic itself as you can with a WikiInclude.

Instead of saying:

 {SomeTopic}

perhaps you could say:

 {SomeTopic.Title}
 {SomeTopic.Body}
 {SomeTopic.Keywords}

This appears to work now (just discovered it 22-Dec-2003), though not with the syntax described above. Instead, enter something that looks like this:

 wiki://AbstractContentBase#Summary

This will let you include the Summary property of the ExamplePropertyPage document, as below:

• ExamplePropertyPage - A summary property will be displayed in the tooltips of any page in this wiki linking to this page. For example ExamplePropertyPage. Also used as HTML meta-tag in the header.

Also, if the summary (or other property) has more than one paragraph (or it has a list) it is included as a single paragraph. So, if SomeProperty had something like this:

 SomeProperty:[
 A Definition and then 
 A separate paragraph and then a list
 *One
 *Two
 ]

This will be presented as this:

A Definition and then A separate paragraph and then a list One Two

I am using this to document a little project, separating each use case and each important function on separate pages. I use the summary (and a Description property in the case of the functions) of each page on a general plan page. This also helps us to include on each participant page the use case or function they are working on. Including just the property value allows me to include more text or references inside the Use Case page, without affecting the appearance of the general plan page.

Its unfortunate that I can’t make the Description property too fancy, because it will lose its format.
