# Include Topics and Web Pages Using **%INCLUDE\{...\}%** Variable Use the **%INCLUDE\{...\}%** variable to embed the content of another topic or web page inside a %WIKITOOLNAME% topic. The whole content or only parts of a page can be included. If needed, set a proxy server in [[TWikiPreferences]].
## Syntax **%INCLUDE\{ "page" pattern="reg-exp" rev="1.2" \}%** - **"page"**: %BR% The nameless parameter specifies the page to include. It is - The name of a topic located in the current web, e.g., **%INCLUDE\{"WebNotify"\}%** - A `Web.Topic` name specifying a topic in another web, e.g., **%INCLUDE\{"TWiki.SiteMap"\}%** - A full qualified URL with **http** protocol, domain name and optional port number, e.g., **%INCLUDE\{"http://twiki.org:80/index.html"\}%**. Supported content types are **text/html** and **text/plain**. The full page is included by default, but the HTML header and scripts are stripped in case it is a web page. - **pattern="reg-exp"**: %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., **pattern="^.\*?(from here.\*?to here).\*"**. 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. - **rev="1.x"**: %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. **_Note:_** All text of a topic is included unless you specify **%STARTINCLUDE%**, **%STOPINCLUDE%** and/or a **pattern** parameter. A pattern will only search between **%STARTINCLUDE%** and **%STOPINCLUDE%**. ## Usage Examples ### 1. Display regression test results in a TWiki page
      %INCLUDE{"http://domain/~qa/v1.1/REDTest.log.txt"}%
      
### 2. Display Google's robot.txt file - You type: - **%INCLUDE\{"http://www.google.com/robots.txt"\}%** ### 3. Display the current time in Tokyo in a TWiki page - You type: - **Tokyo: %INCLUDE\{"http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/xtra/tzdate?tz=Asia/Tokyo" pattern="^.\*<\\!--tzdate:date-->(.\*?)<\\!--/tzdate:date-->.\*"\}%** - You get: - Tokyo: See also other [[TWikiVariables]]. -- TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny - 15 Aug 2004
