### STARTSECTION -- marks the start of a section within a topic - Section boundaries are defined with `%STARTSECTION{}%` and `%ENDSECTION{}%`. - Sections may be given a name to help identify them, and/or a type, which changes how they are used. - `type="section"` - the default, used for a generic section, such as a named section used by [[INCLUDE|Main/VarINCLUDE]]. - `type="include"` - like `%STARTINCLUDE%` ... `%STOPINCLUDE%` except that you can have as many include blocks as you want (`%STARTINCLUDE%` is restricted to only one). - `type="templateonly"` - start position of text to be removed when a template topic is used. Use this to embed text that you _do not_ want expanded when a new topic based on the template topic is created. [[TWikiTemplates]] has more. - `type="expandvariables"` - start position where [[TWikiVariables]] get expanded when a new topic is created. Normally only certain variables get expanded when a new topic based on the template topic is created. All variables get expanded within a `"expandvariables"` section. [[TWikiTemplates]] has more. - Syntax: `%STARTSECTION{"name"}% ................... %ENDSECTION{"name"}%` - Syntax: `%STARTSECTION{type="include"}% ........... %ENDSECTION{type="include"}%` - Syntax: `%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% ...... %ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%` - Syntax: `%STARTSECTION{type="expandvariables"}% ... %ENDSECTION{type="expandvariables"}%` - Supported parameters:
Parameter: Description: Default
"name" Name of the section. Must be unique inside a topic. Generated name
type="..." Type of the section; type "section", "include", "templateonly", or "expandvariables" "section"
- **_%X% Note:_** 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.. - **_%X% Note:_** You can define nested sections. Do not overlap sections. Use named sections to make sure that the correct START and ENDs are matched. Section markers are **not** displayed when a topic is viewed. - Related: [[ENDSECTION|Main/VarENDSECTION]], [[INCLUDE|Main/VarINCLUDE]], [[NOP|Main/VarNOP]], [[STARTINCLUDE|Main/VarSTARTINCLUDE]], [[STOPINCLUDE|Main/VarSTOPINCLUDE]]
