This is an excellent example -- I hadn't really thought of (:include:)
as a way to handle "macros" like this.  :-)

The administrator can also define custom markup sequences -- see
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkup .  For example,
the admin can define {$Address} with:

      '/{\\$Address}/',
      'predefined text goes here');
