Hello Josiah,
I'm pretty sure this could be achieved through a little extension.
Tell us more how it would work.
*if it is the first paragraph, then there is maybe three titles
included...wouldn't you like better when you call a paragraph "abstract"
and this resumé is included in other page
*do you want to call the abstract, page by page, or a lot of them: just
the page abc or all the page linking to the current page.
Beware in any case on the performance issues of page loading.
I'd like to call several abstracts to a front page. This would
somewhat emualate a newspaper where you would read a certain amount of
an article on the front to get you hooked and then it would take you
to the full articly via a link at the bottom. However, on the front
page you'd have the option of a number of articles in a number of
subjects to catch the eye.
Ideally, I'm dreaming here, I'd be calling a certain number of words
to the front page. Maybe it could be an extension with syntax like
[[PageName:##]] where ## indicates the number of words or paragraphs.
To get real fancy ##w or ##p to indicate words or paragraphs
respectively. Also, I'd not expect a link to the full article to be
automatically created at the end because I'd want to handle that
myself using custom text.
The reason I don't want to do this manually is because it seems to
defeat the purpose of a wiki if I have to change it in 2 places when I
make changes, though that is probably how we will accomplish this for
now.
Thanks,
