When using the Common Includes pattern you may come across duplicated content that varies with only one or two values. This can make using includes difficult but when combined with variables, includes become even more powerful. You can parameterize included pages by declaring variables in the test page and referencing them in the included page.

First we'll include a paraterized include page without defining any varaibles.

Included page: Sample Parameterized Page (edit)

This page requires that 3 varaibles be defined before it is included.

NUMERATOR
DENOMINATOR
QUOTIENT

eg.Division
numerator	denominator	quotient?
undefined variable: NUMERATOR	undefined variable: DENOMINATOR	undefined variable: QUOTIENT

Now we define the required variables.
variable defined: NUMERATOR=100
variable defined: DENOMINATOR=10
variable defined: QUOTIENT=10

Included page: Sample Parameterized Page (edit)

This page requires that 3 varaibles be defined before it is included.

NUMERATOR
DENOMINATOR
QUOTIENT

eg.Division
numerator	denominator	quotient?
100	10	10

We can redefine the variables and use the parameterized include again.
variable defined: NUMERATOR=555
variable defined: DENOMINATOR=5
variable defined: QUOTIENT=111

Included page: Sample Parameterized Page (edit)

This page requires that 3 varaibles be defined before it is included.

NUMERATOR
DENOMINATOR
QUOTIENT

eg.Division
numerator	denominator	quotient?
555	5	111
