L A P I S

From/To



Nonadjacent regions can be glued together into a single selection using from and to. For example:
from Link starting "<<"
  to Link ending ">>"
Try this pattern now, and notice that it selects the header and footer of this page.

From/to
is useful when you can easily describe the ends of the selection you want to make, but what's in the middle is too complicated or long to include in your pattern.  For example:
from Rule
  to end of Page
Try this pattern, and notice that it selects the entire postscript of this page (starting with the horizontal line, which is matched by the named pattern Rule).
