I am couldn't exactly understand what is being asked but the way I
understand, you want to select text that comes between two tags.
When I wanted to select that text that comes between <p> tags in a tiddler
and discard the other text the filter I used was
[{Tiddler 1}split[<p>]splitbefore[</p>]removesuffix[</p>]!is[blank]]
Shouldn't this work for selecting between section tags as well?
Now you could add another split for spliting into separate lines if you
want I think.
