Including documents from one point to the other end

aalmiray
Hello everyone,

The `include` directive can be used to include portions of a document either by specifying a line range or a set of tags. I wonder if it's possible to include a document by simply specifying an entry line and have the rest of the document included from there. My use case is to embed a source file but skipping the license header.

An alternative would be to allow the following syntax (borrowed from Groovy) if both ends of the range must be specified

    include::source.java[12..-1]

Thoughts?

Someone May Say otherwise, but I'm pretty sure you can do a -1 on the last bit of the range. Ruby allows that as well and I remember talking about it.

As Jason pointed out, your instinct was correct, Andres. You can use -1 to represent the last line of the document. Your example works.

    include::source.java[12..-1]

I added this information to the user manual as it was previously missing.
