Transcluding posts in Discourse

@Mohammad asked about transcluding:

It’s as simple as pasting a link to any other topic or comment on a line by itself as I have done above.

You can see a preview of the text, or all of it if short, and if longer you can click to expand the entire post inline.

Various other links can be pasted and will expand — eg embedding Twitter posts.

Quotes function in a similar way. You can highlight text on mobile or desktop and get a button labeled “Quote”. This will paste the contents into a reply with special formatting.

Feel free to experiment in the comments here!

Really neat! Thanks for taking the time to point that out.

A transclusion-enabled platform does seem more in line with the TW philosophy :slight_smile: )
