This is a bit late, but here’s my solution that returns the first line (not
paragraph), using nothing but core functionality. Copy it literally
(including new line as splitbefore’s parameter) into a test tiddler.
<$list filter="[{$:/ControlPanel}splitbefore[
]]" variable="firstLine"><$text text=<<firstLine>>/></$list>
