Folks,

Give splitregexp[\n] try below code fragment on tiddlywiki.com to see how 
lines can be read as fragments.

<$list filter="HelloThere">
   <$list filter="[all[current]get[text]splitregexp[\n]]" variable=abstract>
       <$link to=<<currentTiddler>> ><$text text=<<abstract>>/></$link><hr>
   </$list>
</$list>

Using the recent xml tools adds even more possibilities, including finding 
a way to extract html sections that can be address elsewhere.

A more advanced version of the above in my tiddlers contain a comment 
section 
<!--
Abstract: A abstract about the content of this tiddler
-->
And the filter I use in the above code is

[all[current]get[text]splitregexp[\n]prefix[Abstract:]]

So I am fragmenting content as if I through a grenade into it.

The prefix operator is a friend here; it could tell the difference between, 
https:// and file:// and anything else that may be present in a line


Regards
Tony
