I love it!

I have been chopping up CFRs from the eCFR 
<http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR?page=browse> to build up searchable 
regulation tiddlywikis in much the same way to help me with my job. I have 
been doing them manually so far and I can see this speeding things up quite 
a bit.

Feedback:
1) I think slicing down to the paragraph level might be too far. It adds a 
lot of autogenerated cruft in the TOCs. There may be some need to go down 
to this level but I would make the delimiter for levels beyond just 
headings configurable/regexp-able. In the eCFR example above. It would be 
useful to go down to the paragraph denoted with a lowercase letter in 
braces and the subparagraph denoted by a number ... end even 
sub-subparagraph denoted by lower case roman numerals ... but I don't know 
what a good title for the paragraphs would be other than their typical 
legal reference (i.e. ยง###.## (a)(1)(i)). I have not tackled splitting 
thing up to that level manually mainly due to the work it would entail and 
the difficulty in piecing together a tiddler name that won't be error-prone.

2) In the eCFR example, there are a lot of annoying "back to top" links 
that I have to manually remove. It would be nice if some 
configurable/regexp text could be excluded from the slicing import.

I'll have to exercise this more (particularly slicing updated regs that 
supersede previous ones and linked graphics)  since it looks like a great 
tool for me.

Thanks!
