How to transclude a list and modify its indentation level automatically to match the destination tiddler indentation level

[Eric N]

Hi,

I have a list in a tiddler A, and I want to transclude it into a tiddler B while adapting the list indentation to the level where it is inserted in B.

Say A is:

* this

* that

And B is:

* 1

* 2

* 3

** 3.1

** 3.2

Then I want to type a command in B:

* 1

* 2

* 3

** 3.1

INSERT_WITH_INDENT(A)

** 3.2

In order to obtain:

* 1

* 2

* 3

** 3.1

*** this

*** that

** 3.2

And not what a standard transclusion with {{A}} would give:

* 1

* 2

* 3

** 3.1

* this

* that

** 3.2

Does it make sense ? Any idea how to do it ?

For info, I work with lists a lot, and I'd like to reuse information without copy pasting, and the places I want to reuse a given list are lists themselves, however with different indentation levels.

Best,

Eric

First, you'll need to use the `<$transclude>` widget with optional parameter `mode=block`.  This will allow the transclusion to properly handle the bullet items contained in the transcluded tiddler.

Then, to insert the transcluded bullet items at a level below the current level, you'lll need to put the `<$transclude>` widget on the same line as the item that is it's "parent" in the target bullet list.

Like this:

```

* Foo
* Bar
* Baz
** Mumble
** Frotz <$transclude tiddler="A" mode=block/>
** Gronk

```

The result should look like this:

• Foo
• Bar
• Baz
  • Mumble
  • Frotz
    • this
    • that
  • Gronk

enjoy,
