[Patch] Previewing the edited section shows the whole page, instead of showing the preview of just the edited section.

Description
I am editing a section using the edit button enabled by the plugin. When I wish to preview my changes, the previewer displays the whole page, instead of just the section being edited. This is clearly a bug, because it effectively terminates the usefulness of the feature.

Thanks mkc. Works great, although I would suggest (and that's what I actually did on my trac install) to change the default of preview_whole_page from True to False, since it makes more sense to preview just the section when editing just the section. Are you going to merge the change in the trunk for the plugin? Because currently it is not there. Thanks, again.

The patch works and really enhances usability. Sadly, the Image macro does not work in the section preview. The error is
sequence item 0: expected string, NoneType found

Hello cbalan,
Would it be possible to have this integrated into the repository? I'd like to provide some additional fixes for this plugin and it will be more straightforward than to have multiple patches that are dependent on one another.

One issue with the patch is that it sometimes causes the last line in the section to be replicated.
For instance, suppose my section is composed of:
line1
line2
line3
line4
After several edits and saves, I end up with something like:
line1
line2
line3
line4
line4
line4
However, the number of times the line is replicated doesn't seem to directly correspond to the number of saved revisions.

(In [7117]) Applied preview whole page patch. Thank you mkc, rjolls. Refs #4848
Hey Guys,
What do you think about moving the preview_whole_page option to wiki edit page ? In this way, the user could switch the preview whole page on and off while editing/previewing
Thank you, Catalin Balan

I'd find that feature to be useful.

Would it be alright with you if we closed this ticket and opened another for this additional feature? That way it will be obvious to anyone that the patch has been incorporated into the trunk.

I've been thinking about this. It might be better to add a Preview Section button next to the Preview Page button, rather than having a checkbox to toggle preview section / page.
Currently we have:
We could have:
Preview Page | Preview Section | Review Changes

The preview page button seems like feature bloat. If the user chooses to edit a section, they should only see that section when previewing.
Attached patch which adds "preview_whole_page" setting. When set to false, the preview is restricted to the section being modified only.
