Including cards is achieved through a simple syntax, which consists of the name of the card inside double braces, with a couple of optional modifiers. 

{{ cardname | key1:value; key2:value }}

 The complete Nest Syntax is documented here:

To demonstrate, here's a simple sample card:

Well, hello.  I'm the content of simple sample card.

 

We included the card above using this syntax: {{simple sample | view:open }}.  The "view:open" part means we want to see the whole card, with its green header and everything.  There are many other views: closed, content, titled, link, name, change, core, etc

 

The default view is "content", which means you only see the content of the card -- no header or footer.  So if you don't specify a view, and just type {{simple sample}}, you'll just get the card's content:

 

Well, hello.  I'm the content of simple sample card.

 

You would get the very same thing with {{simple sample | view:content}}, which is just a bit more explicit.  Actually, because "view" is such a common key, you can just leave it out, like so: {{simple sample | closed}}, which gives us this:

 

 

set item views


When you include Search and Pointer cards, you can also specify the view of each card in the returned list by adding another pipe. For example, {{sample user search | open | link}} will yield:

That syntax basically means "show me the search card in open view and each of its items in link view".

 

escape inclusions

 

If you want to use double curly brackets without creating an inclusion (for example in documentation), put a backslash just before the brackets. For example, \{{nymph}} appears as:

{{nymph}}
