I am no fan of the proposed 3p selective include extensions. I think the
section to be included should be marked properly in the source page.
Of course I am missing the point. The application you're thinking of is
feeds and other auto-generated content which needs to be sliced and never
suffers editing. For this doesn't the originally proposed extensions
suffice? I think of them being:
page#1#anchor
get text before #anchor
page#anchor
get section after #anchor
page#anchor#
get text after #anchor
page#anchor#10
get first 10 lines after anchor
page#2#10
get 10 lines starting with line 2
Though probably separating the dissection from the include would be sounder:
[include: MyFeed select line 1..10]
Then it gets easy to do paragraphs etc when the need arise, with cleartext
explaining to novices what's going on:
[include: MyFeed select paragraph 6721 line 1]
