Explanation of workflow issue
this is a project to reduce the proportion of time for a given page of Alumni Oxonienses spent simply on marking and packaging the text. The idea is to take an array of names name1, ..., nameM, and another of corresponding text pieces text1, ..., textM, and display on one page text marked up for transclusion, and also the required headers. Done in a sandbox environment, just with preview and copy-and-paste, it could make, with M at least 10, for an appreciable saving of time, I believe. This demo has M=5.

The current version only works for plain text. Would subst be able to cure that? The workflow of correcting the plain text, getting the name list, creating the material to paste, paste the text marked for transclusion—and only then add format—would be ... odd. But not useless?

Corrections and objections welcomed. Charles Matthews (talk) 14:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, the "only then" is too doctrinaire. When format has already been added, one can paste the transclusion-marked output above and add the old wikitext, to save some time. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
