[pmwiki-users] cookbook "ShellTools" (was: Include specific lines of text on a page)

[Randy]

"Remove" is definitely better than "hide".

I still like cut and cutline because it's semantically clearer. Cut  
could be anything the user chooses - from a single character to the  
whole page (if you are allowing it to go beyond one line). Cutline,  
however, is obviously line-oriented.

What I don't like about "cutline" is that it's verbose.

You could use "cut" for lines and "snip" for text within lines, since  
snip is more diminutive suggesting a smaller cut. But I think the  
precision of "cutline" is more important. For example, I would never  
have guessed that "cut" means to cut a line.

Whatever you call it, it's going to be valuable recipe!
