Is it possible to display Source Code contents in the Wiki but as a reference to an actual file in Subversion?

Question

I know that I could just copy the source code content and paste is as Code in the Wiki however, if the source code changes I don't want the stale code to be displayed in the Wiki.

Confluence is very weak at displaying source code imho. For years I've been using a wordpress plugin where you specify a url in your <pre> tag and it pulls the code from the url, which is usually a subversion url.

I completely agree about pasting in code, so, if you create an RFE, I'll vote for it.

Ok. Is there a way I can log an enhancement request? Would this be a feature that would be useful to anyone else?

I know many programming purests (even those that have written books) hate the idea of including code as text that is not controlled by Continuous Integration. How often do you read technical books that have code that doesn't actually work? The lack of embedded source code integration with source control systems is the reason for this. Perhaps Atlassian could lead this innovation for Wiki or do 3rd party macros already exist that do this?

That's right. We don't allow ways to include arbitrary HTML in OnDemand. Unfortunately there's no good way I can think to achieve this.
