Dear all,

If I want to cite some texts in one tiddler from another, what should I do?

Here is an example. If I want to translate some English to French, and the 
tiddler may look like this:

(Paragraph 1) Some English sentences... 

(Paragraph 2) The French translations of Para 1 ...

(Paragraph 3) Some other English sentences ...

(Paragraph 4) The French translations of Para 3 ...

... 

...


And now I want to display all the French translations (without the English 
parts) in a new tiddler, which is the para 2, para 4 and so on in the 
example above. Like this:

Some other words ...

The French translations of Para 1 (above)... 
> The French translations of Para 3 (above)...

... 

 

I have tried some methods, but they all do not work well:

   1. Transclusion. But its capability is limited:
      - Transclusion can only transclude the whole tiddler.
      2. Macros (with importvariables). This also has some disadvantages: 
      - You must  define them all at the start of the tiddler.
      - For each paragraph you need to give it a new macro name.
   3. HTML syntax.
      - I can use <div> or <p> to customise the paragraph, but I do not 
      know how to transclude them in another tiddler.
   

Here is an extended requirement:

   - Since the French texts are structurely-similar in the example above, 
    I am wondering whether I could just use one identifier and list them in 
   the new tiddler in order of the sequence in the original tiddler.
