Introduction
Excerpt Include is a macro which has to be used in combination with the macro Excerpt.
Excerpt is used to define part of a page which you would like to include in additional places. Excerpt Include is used to define where that except will appear
Application(s)
Excerpt Include has one feature:
- displays the section defined by the Excerpt macro in one or more additional places

How to use Excerpt/Excerpt Include
Consider using this where it would be useful to:
