Could we have a directive that "swallows" newlines? Then something like

 	(:include page#Billed:) (:-nl:)

or what about adding an option to (:include:) that tells it to strip 
newlines, e.g.

 	(:include page#Billed strip-nl=before:)

Then we could also have something like

 	(:include page#Billed strip-ws=both:)

This might be a bit of feature creep of course, but the first bit would be 
really useful!
