Including ADOC code from txt file inside an adoc file

Requesting help on how to import from files using include::filename.txt[tag=TAG] in such a way that TAG is itself ASCIIDOCTOR text inside a .txt file that includes other include(s) to tags inside that same .txt file as well as other ADOC elements.

I created a Pastebin with more details -- https://pastebin.com/9NgABGHa .

Yes, this works. But you cannot indent the lines. AsciiDoc is left-aligned, so if you want the lines to be interpreted as AsciiDoc, they need to be flush to the left margin.

If you do want to store the lines indented, then you need to set the indent attribute on the include directive as follows:

include::filename.txt[indent=0]

That will strip the indentation before reading the lines.
