The transclusion specification begins with three consecutive left curly bracket characters (“`{`”, U+007B) at the first position of a line and ends with three consecutive right curly bracket characters (“`}`”, U+007D). The curly brackets delimit either a [zettel identifier](00001006050000) or a searched zettel list. You can add some [attributes](00001007050000), although a transclusion does not support the default attribute. Any other characters in this line will be ignored. This leads to three variants of transclusions: 1. Transclusion of the content of another zettel into the current zettel. This is done if you specify a zettel identifier, and is called *zettel transclusion*. 1. Transclusion of the list of zettel references that satisfy a [query expression](00001007700000). This is called *query transclusion*. 1. Transclusion of the content of an image, referenced by a [hosted or based](00001007040310#link-specifications) link / URL. The first two variants are described on separate zettel: * [Zettel transclusion](00001007031110) * [Query transclusion](00001007031140)
