Markdown extension: sections

[danburzo]

This is just an idea so far, but:

Using the § character (which hopefully most people have access to form their keyboard in one way or another), you can define sections in the content.

§ Named Section

§
Above is an anonymous section

When processing the Markdown, the post object receives the following properties:

content is the whole content (all sections together) — do we strip out the section names, convert them to headings?

sections is an object containing the individual sections. Now, it can either be an object or an array, or both. It should be easy to:

• refer to particular sections (e.g. post.sections.excerpt)
• iterate on many, anonymous sections (e.g. {% for section in post.sections %})

The use

• Excerpts
• Pagination
• Many more, I would assume

Implemented as https://github.com/marceljs/markdown-split, it now just needs to be integrated.
