I'd be interested in more details on how a paragraph is delimited/defined 
when you have some time. Then I could polish the description if needed and 
add it to the wiki.

One reason why I wonder is that I'm using the convention of putting a 
brief description of the content/purpose of the page at the top of the 
page. It works reasonably well, and I do think most pages deserve such a 
description. The reason I started putting the description at the top was 
John's "teaser markup". However, IIRC that only takes the first line of 
the page - I could be wrong here and confusing it with wath you can 
include.

So maybe the following is a better question:

Is it possible to include only the first paragraph of a page, and what 
would this be then?

And a follow up question. What if the page looked like this:

 	!! Some title

 	(:toc:)

 	Paragraph with description....

Would you say that the description paragraph is the first, second or third 
paragraph on that page? (From an include point of view).

Regards,

PS. Yes, I know anchors could be used to define the description paragraph, 
but for some reason I never get around to actually inserting a 
[[#desc]]...
