Description

This is the use case: a Tiki site creates a lot of similar documents (which end up as PDF files) in the form of wiki pages assembled from a combination of included pages and text that is copied from "template" pages and customized. When the pasted section of text is edited for improvement, it would be good to be able to see where that section was copied from in order to improve that page (the base or "template" page) as well.

Maybe this could be done if there was a feature called "CopiedFrom" that, when activated, would print comments before and after the pasted text such as

Copied from "Template Page A" start
The copied/pasted content is here.
Copied from "Template Page B" end

These comments could be ~t c~wiki comments~/t c~ or <!-- HTML comments --> or mPDF {DIV(class="d-print-none")}{DIV} comments , depending on the site requirements. I don't know if the comment type needs to be selectable per instance or global at the site.

As this is kind of a rare use case, maybe it could be implemented as a Vue.js widget (just a thought). It would have to have the ability to get the page name or URL where text is selected and copied and print it as indicated where the paste is made.
