The Cookbook recipe randomsection will probably do what you want.  Some use it for quotes.  I use it for random banners.  You just put the various text (or banners) you want to display after an anchor.  It uses an (:include {banners$RandomSection}:).  You can use it in group footer to get it on every page in a group, or just individual pages.

I wondered if there is a recipe for randomising extracts of page content? On my wiki home page I'd like to insert a box taking up a quarter of the page, or half a paragraph, which text wrapping round it, and for the recipe to grab the first three lines or so of a random page. That way whenever a visitor hits the home page they see a bordered box with constantly changing content.

If I've not explained that very clearly then please take a look at the homepage to my website (not the wiki). If you hit refresh you'll see that the image, the quote in the top right and the 'Random Log Entry' all change every time the page refreshes. It's a lazy way of making the page look dynamic I guess.

As an adjunct to this I wondered if there is a way of including only an extract of a page, rather than the whole page?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jamie
