Description:
I run a small wiki where pages and section tend to be very small, and it would
usually be more useful to see a preview of the entire page when editing a
section, rather than just a preview of the section. It would be nice if there
were a user-level preference for whether to show a preview of the entire page or
just the section being edited.

This actually would be a benefit in pages with images and/or divs that affect
the entire page but reside in different sections. (See
http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux&action=edit§ion=4 for a very
quick and basic example.) This feature would allow the editor to see how
editing the section affects the entire page. I think a simple check box below
next to "Watch This page" that would read "Preview Entire Page" (and controlling
code) would solve it. Also, a preference to have this box marked by default
(like default "watch") would be nice.
The text is submitted and parsed. Since for a section, the user was only given
part of the page, the server would have to merge it into the rest and parse that
in order to preview it.

...and? We merge the section back into the page when we save a section edit;
what's so difficult about doing it, running a pre-save transform, and showing a
preview?

...nothing is "difficult" about it, I'm not sure who said that?
