Description

This is a useful plugin, if you want to include a randomly chosen page from a namespace, into the current one. Consider the use of Randominc if you want to change a static part of a page, to a randomly chosen part.

Requirements

This plugin uses the include plugin and therefore it requires the include plugin to be installed.

Syntax

Enclose the namespace from where to select the page in double curly brackets. Refer to Include Plugin for detailed information here are only described the added functionallities.

{{randominc>[ns]#[section]&[flags]}}

[ns]	namespace from which select the page to include

The plugin offers two syntaxes, {{randominc>...}} and {{randomincsec>...}}.

randominc works as page syntax of Include Plugin.
randomincsec should work as section syntax.

Arguments

You may use two arguments to control the presentation of the random content:

Name	Value	Effect	Example
`max-height`	`A valid CSS size`	`Content height limit`	max-height: 100px
`max-width`	`A valid CSS size`	`Content width limit`	max-width: 200px

Examples

{{randominc>namespace1&max-height: 200px}}
you can include the random content into a box:<box 80% round blue | Random Content>{{randominc>namespace2&max-height: 250px}}</box>
{{randomincsec>:playground:test#abc&nofooter&noheader&noeditbtn}}
where test is a folder and #abc is a headline

Additional Flags

From release 2017-08-04 on, the Random Include plugin also supports all flags which are supported by the Include Plugin. E.g. {{randominc>:playground:test&link}} would make the first heading of the included page be rendered as a link.
