Thread:Extension talk:DataTable2/Using DataTAble2 in Templates/reply

Dear Cruickshanks,

you're correct that the key point is the use of NewRevisionFromEditComplete. Indeed, it is the page text as saved in the database which is parsed for &lt;datatable2> tags, without any kind of parameter expansion. It can't be otherwise because when saving the page, nothing is known about any transclusion within other pages.

So I'm afraid your idea needs to be dropped.
