* If the page or blog post is located in another space, add the space key and a colon in front of the page name. For example, {{DOC:My page name}}.
* To include a blog post, specify the date as well as the title of the blog post. For example: {{/2010/12/01/My blog post}}.

h2. Examples

This example shows how to display the contents of a page located in the same space as the current page, where '*Confluence Overview*' is the name of the page you want to display. 
{code}
{include:Confluence Overview}
{code}

In this example, the page is located in another space, where '*DS*' is the key of the other space. 
{code}
{include:DS:Confluence Overview}
{code}

This example shows how to display the contents of a blog post located in the same space, where '*Free chocolate in the kitchen*' is the name of the blog post you want to display, and the URL of the blog post contains the date '*2010/12/01*'. 
{code}
{include:/2010/12/01/Free chocolate in the kitchen}
{code}

In this example, the blog post is located in another space, where '*DS*' is the key of the other space. 
{code}
{include:DS:/2010/12/01/Free chocolate in the kitchen}
{code}

h2. Notes

* If you want to include part of a page rather than the whole page, use the [Excerpt|Excerpt Macro] and [Excerpt Include|Excerpt Include Macro] macros.
* To display a page's contents, you need 'View' permission for that page. Similarly, people who view the page will need 'View' permissions for the embedded page as well as the page into which it is embedded. See [space permissions|Space Permissions Overview] or contact your Confluence [space administrator|Confluence Glossary#space administrator] for more information.
* If someone changes the name of the included page after you have added the macro to your page, the page name does *not* change automatically in the macro. You will need to change the page name manually in the macro parameters.
* If you want to embed an external page into a Confluence page, you need the [HTML Include macro|HTML Include macro].
