+
+This hack allows you to dynamically pull in the value of tags into page content, via customizing how [page include tags](/docs/user/reusing-page-content/#include-tags) are parsed. 
+This hack will attempt to use tags on the page itself, then look to the parent chapter (if existing), then the parent book's tags.
+
+#### Usage
+
+Within page content, insert [an include tag](/docs/user/reusing-page-content/#include-tags) with the following specific format:
+
+```text
+{{@0tag:<tag-name>}}
+```
+
+Replacing `<tag-name>` with the name of your intended tag. The tag lookup is performed case-insensitive, so don't worry about correct casing. The hack will then replace the include tag with the value of any relevant tags found, or otherwise blank out the include tag.
+
+As an example, if I had a tag with name `Color` and value `Blue`, I'd use the include tag `{{@0tag:color}}` which will be replaced with `Blue` (using the tag value) when the page is shown.
+
+#### Considerations
+
+- This is subject to many of the same limitations as page includes, so the values won't show in things like preview snippets.
+- This implementation does not consider permissions/access to parent chapter/book for tag values, so values may be used from chapters/books which the user does not have access to view.
+- Tag name matching is case-insensitive.
