As we continue to check out Magnolia, it's occurred to me that I

seen any way to reuse existing content.
For example, we have an "Online Services" section which is
replicated across
80% of the pages in the University's website. While the contents of
this
section are the same across all the various pages where it exists,
they do
change from time to time.
While one can, of course, hard-code the necessary HTML into a
template to
have this section appear whenever a template is used, one loses one
of the
main advantages of managed content -- you have to make and deploy code
changes whenever you need a change to this section.
What seems a better approach would be to have some way of defining a
paragraph within Magnolia, and then using that same paragraph on
multiple
pages. One could, for example, choose "New Paragraph" and have a
paragraph
type that is merely a link to a paragraph that already exists
elsewhere.
Has anybody done anything like this, or explored other approaches
to reusing
content throughout one's system?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Sean
The Enterprise Edition templates make that very easy ;-)
