It would be very often practical to embed text portions into other parts
of the text, instead of just linking to it, but copying (duplicating) is just
not an applicable method to any /living/ document.
Now, as far as I can tell, the smallest addressable documentation element
is a page, and we can hyperlink pages, but not arbitrary sections of text.
For a start, embedding a page would be quite enough, as there is nothing
that prevents us from creating arbitrarily short pages. In the future, though,
the address space could be practically extended so that we can identify any
desired portions of a wiki document set, and then we can just dynamically
link or embed at will whichever of those identified elements, to wherever
we'd like.
(Sorry, if this is being implemented already.)
Cheers,
Sz.
