The Include element

Available since version: 0.8.0 (2012)

Description

Includes other configuration snippets. Note that this is no widget shown in your visualization it just gives you the opportunity to split you configuration into multiple files. If you have a large configuration file splitting it up might help to keep track of your configuration. The path to the included files must be relative to the resource folder.

 <include src="config/part1.xml"/>
 <include src="config/part2.xml"/>
</page>
