More section tags

if_first_section and if_last_section respond only to section-list context. That is, you only use them inside section_list, where they behave just as you would expect.

if_article_section responds only to the section belonging to the current article context, so it too is sensibly named and easy to understand.

section_list is static (i.e., not context-sensitive), so can be used anywhere. It displays either the sections named in its name attribute, or lists all sections.

if_section responds only to global section context. This is important to remember when using if_section inside other contexts.

This code:

<ul>
	<li>
		<b><txp:section /></b> is the global section context<br />
		<txp:if_section name="context_demo">
			<code>if_section</code> <em>is sensitive to</em> global section context
		<txp:else />
			<code>if_section</code> <em>does not respond to</em> global section context
		</txp:if_section>
	</li>
	<li>
		<txp:article_custom section="txp" limit="1">
			<b><txp:section /></b> is the section for this local article context<br />
			<txp:if_section name="txp">
				<code>if_section</code> <em>is sensitive to</em> local article context
			<txp:else />
				<code>if_section</code> <em>does not respond to</em> local context
			</txp:if_section>
			<txp:if_article_section name="txp">
				<small>(<code>if_article_section</code> does, though)</small>
			</txp:if_article_section>
		</txp:article_custom>
	</li>
	<li>
		<txp:section_list sections="info">
			<b><txp:section /></b> is the local section context<br />
			<txp:if_section name="info">
				<code>if_section</code> <em>is sensitive to</em> local section context
			<txp:else />
				<code>if_section</code> <em>does not respond to</em> local context
			</txp:if_section>
		</txp:section_list>
	</li>
</ul>
