Ah, thanks for explaining that *@Bob*. Coming from MediaWiki myself, I 
understand what you're saying to be the very handy Labeled Section 
Transclusion 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion> 
(LST) extension. Yes, that would be a helpful feature indeed, but it seems 
that the focus of TW5's core develepment team is on "tiny tiddlers" that 
are transcluded into larger tiddlers as sections, so with that mindset, 
there isn't a need for LST, as each section is itself a transcludable 
self-standing tiddler. Personally I prefer single long pages with sections, 
and the ability to transclude out sections as you've mentioned. From what 
you've described I could do this using multiple tiddler fields. Then every 
section of my tiddler would only contain the code for importing the 
relevant tiddler field. That would meaning that all editing would need to 
be done within a tiddler field, rather than on the page itself. And as seen 
elsewhere <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1932>, tiddler 
fields are only single-line textboxes at present, not expandable text 
areas, making editing of long paragraphs within them difficult. I could 
edit the field contents on the page, then cut/paste into the field. Hmm, 
I'll have to think more on that. Thanks again for explaining.
