well it was working fine, but in my test a textline with a directive
was included and fouled the output. The script version I released now
at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/TextExtract
is ignoring lines with directives, to be easier predictable.

The original question in this thread can be solved with the grep
markup expression like this:

{(grep Complete Group.MainPage hide=Complete)}

and it will display the text extract from MainPage as:

  Test A
  Test D  


Hope this helps!
