MojoPad

Transclusion and Split View

A wiki gets its power from reuse: write something once, see it everywhere it matters. MojoPad takes the page embed further — embed just a section, or just a single block, and open a second page beside the one you're writing. All of it live.

Embed a section

Add a heading's name after the page name and the embed shows just that section — the heading and everything under it, up to the next heading of the same level:

![[Project Plan#Milestones]]

Three ways to make one:

  • Type it![[Page#Heading]] on its own line, on rich text or Markdown pages.
  • Pick it — type / and choose Embed page; after you pick a page with headings, MojoPad offers the whole page or any single section.
  • Copy it from the outline — open the Outline (⌃⌘O), hover a heading, and click the that appears. Paste on any page and it becomes the live embed.

Embed a single block

Any paragraph, heading, or list item can carry a small permanent name — a block id — and be embedded anywhere:

  1. Click into the paragraph you want to reference.
  2. Run Copy Block Link from the command palette (⇧⌘P).
  3. Paste. ![[Page#^ab12cd]] becomes a live embed of just that block.

On Markdown pages the id is plain text — a trailing marker like Some paragraph. ^ab12cd — so it travels with your notes and round-trips cleanly (the marker is hidden when the page renders). You can write your own memorable ids: end a line with ^budget and reference it as ![[Plans#^budget]].

Live, and connected

Section and block embeds are live views: edit the source and every embed shows the new content the next time it renders. Click an embed's title to jump to the source, right at that section. Embeds count as connections — they appear in Backlinks and on the Graph.

Split view

Open a second page beside the editor — read a source while you write, or keep a map of content in sight:

  • -click any page link to open its target in the split pane.
  • Or run Open Page in Split View… from the command palette and pick any page.

The pane is a live, read-only view — edit that page in the editor (even side by side with itself) and the pane updates as you save. Links inside the pane navigate the pane; -click sends a link to the editor instead. Click to swap the pane with the editor, to close, and drag the divider to resize — the width sticks. The pane title opens that page in the editor.
