    Description

      Currently, if you use sections and include pages that themselves use sections, there will be an horizontal scroll bar in the containing section, even though the included page could fit in the section the macro is declared into.

      Example:

      You have a main page. This page uses section for it's main body. At the end, you include a a few smaller pages. Those pages use a simple, single section containing two columns. SInce you already used sections in the main page, you have to declare a single-column section for all or each of the included pages.

      These pages should have no problem being presented as is, but since they themselves are declared in a section, this creates a superfluous need for spacing in the section that declares the "include page" macro, thus having a needless scroll bar just below each section that includes the macro.

      Thus, my feature request is this:

      The "include page" macro should have an option to replace the section it is declared into with it's content, if appropriate. SInce it would remove the "section within a section" problem, no scroll bar would appear.
