Using Partials

Partials let you define a block of content once and reuse it across multiple internotes. This is useful for recurring definitions, standard introductions, or any content that appears in more than one place.

Creating a Partial

Partials are saved as .part.chalk files attached to an internote. In the editor, open the add palette, choose Partial, then create or upload a file such as definition-of-function.part.chalk.

Partial files contain reusable Chalk content only. They do not need their own document header.

Inserting a Partial

Use @include and reference the partial by file name.

    @include(src: definition-of-function.part.chalk)
}

File Names

• Partial file names must end with .part.chalk
• Use clear names such as quadratic-formula.part.chalk or lab-safety-warning.part.chalk
• Keep partials near the internote that uses them when working from Git
• Include partials by file name, not by database ID

Managing Partials

You can view, rename, edit, and delete partials from the Partials section of the add palette. Deleting a partial will not delete the internotes that reference it; those internotes will show an unresolved include warning until you restore the file or remove the @include.
