- Initial port of drupal.org/project/insert_view to Backdrop.
Insert view filter allows to embed views using tags. The tag syntax is relatively simple: [view:name=display=args]. The parameters are: view name, view display id, view arguments. For example [view:tracker=page=1] says, embed a view named "tracker", use the "page" display, and supply the argument "1". The display and args parameters can be omitted. If the display is left empty, the view's default display is used. Multiple arguments are separated with slash. The args format is the same as used in the URL (or view preview screen).
Valid examples: [view:my_view] [view:my_view=my_display] [view:my_view=my_display=arg1/arg2/arg3] [view:my_view==arg1/arg2/arg3]

Once Insert view is installed, visit the the input formats page at /admin/config/content/formats and click the "configure" link for the input format(s) for which you wish to enable the Insert view filter. Then simply check the checkbox for the filter.
On the edit page for the view in question, you'll find a list of displays at the left side of the control area. "Defaults" will be the first one of that list. Hover your mouse pointer over the name of the display you want to use. A URL will appear in the status bar of your browser. This is usually at the bottom of the window, in the chrome. After /views/view you see name_of_the_view/edit/name_of_the_displayID. For example in http://xxx.myhomepage.com/admin/structure/views/view/frontpage/edit/page the view name is "frontpage" and the display ID would be "page".
This filter is powerful, therefore it should be granted to trusted users only. If you allow this filter to untrusted users, then you have to make sure that EVERY VIEW EVERY DISPLAY has correct views access settings.
To display views correctly, Insert view turns off caching for the input formats for which it is enabled. That means every node using this input format will not be cacheable. This can impact site performance. In these cases, it is recommended to create a special input format for use when inserting views.
