{import} Macro

Description

This macro imports the contents of another page into the current page. This macro differs from the regular confluence include macro in that the content is rendered in the context of the current page rather than the source page.

This subtle difference is particularly useful when you want to store re-usable chunks of menu items on a page - because those menu items may have specific privilege requirements depending on where they are used, they needed to be rendered in the context of the current page in order to always show the correct values and links.
