OTOH, I quite like them. And presumably this would also work:
[:include SomePage#..#a :] from beginning to #a
[:include SomePage#a..# :] from #a to end of page
My 5? worth:
- what are some real world scenarios where one would use all these
capabilities; it feels like a lot of additional structure that may
not get used very often
- I currently don't have a need for these to be added to PmWiki 1.0
- but, yesterday I had a situation where there are many pages all
with the same structure, and I wanted to include the first few
paragraphs, skip a bunch, then include the rest of the page; in
other words: include page, but omit paragraphs between #a to #b
I guess I do [:include Page..#a :]
[:include Page#b.. :]
I almost wanted conditional text -- the ability to show or hide
different bits of text under different conditions, but decided
this would be gratuitous
