This topic is not formatted like a standard Dev topic because it was created in a different web and later moved. If somebody could please help me reformat/arrange the information here that would be great.

Now down to business....

SHOW operates similar to INCLUDE however it allows you to specify "from" and "to" without need for:

%STARTINCLUDE%

or

%STOPINCLUDE%.

You can put something like:

%SHOW{Web.TopicPage from="somewhere" to="somewhere else"}%

into a topic and it will attempt to include that portion as if the items in "from" and "to" were %STARTINCLUDE% and %STOPINCLUDE%

ShowTopicSectionPluginDev

Adds to the functionality of the

Warning: Can't find topic ""."" tag by allowing includes of patterns from specific topics or revisions of topics.

Syntax Rules

   * %SHOW{Web.TopicPage from="somewhere" to="somewhere else"}%

my regex could probably use some work to make the matchin more predictable under various conditions, however I believe the .pm file attached below is a good start.
