19 <code>**%INCLUDE\{ "page" pattern="reg-exp" rev="1.2" \}%**</code>
21 - <code>**"page"**</code>: %BR% The nameless parameter specifies the page to include. It is
22 - The name of a topic located in the current web, e.g., <code>**%INCLUDE\{"WebNotify"\}%**</code>
23 - A `Web.Topic` name specifying a topic in another web, e.g., <code>**%INCLUDE\{"TWiki.SiteMap"\}%**</code>
24 - A full qualified URL with <code>**http**</code> protocol, domain name and optional port number, e.g., <code>**%INCLUDE\{"http://twiki.org:80/index.html"\}%**</code>. Supported content types are <code>**text/html**</code> and <code>**text/plain**</code>. The full page is included by default, but the HTML header and scripts are stripped in case it is a web page.
26 - <code>**pattern="reg-exp"**</code>: %BR% The **pattern** parameter is optional and allows you to extract some parts of a web page. Specify a [[RegularExpression]] that scans from start (`'^'`) to end and contains the text you want to keep in parenthesis, e.g., <code>**pattern="^.\*?(from here.\*?to here).\*"**</code>. You need to make sure that the integrity of a web page is not compromised; for example, if you include a table, make sure to include everything including the table end tag.
28 - <code>**rev="1.x"**</code>: %BR% The **rev** parameter is optional and allows you to include an earlier revision of a topic. This can be used to include an official version of a topic, e.g. one that has been signed of by management. This parameter does not apply to URLs.
30 **_Note:_** All text of a topic is included unless you specify <code>**%STARTINCLUDE%**</code>, <code>**%STOPINCLUDE%**</code> and/or a **pattern** parameter. A pattern will only search between <code>**%STARTINCLUDE%**</code> and <code>**%STOPINCLUDE%**</code>.
