Or Why is it always good to use includetrim=true when you want to include chapter content with mode=userformat ?

We create pages that contain chapter contents :

Random Chapter Content 1

Random Chapter Content 2

Random Chapter Content 3

Now we want to create tables that will call the chapter content from some sections (chapters) of these pages. Using the mode userformat we want to have full freedom on the output of DPL. When using mode=userformat and including chapter content, it is good to also switch includetrim=true. Here is when includetrim=true is put :

<DPL>
category            =Random Chapter Content
mode                =userformat
nottitlematch       =Random Chapter Content
includepage         =#Random,#Chapter,#Content
addfirstcategorydate=true
listseparators      =,,,
secseparators       ={| border="0" style="background:black; color:white" cellspacing="0" border-collapse="collapse" bordercolor="black"¶|- style="background:black; color:white"¶!width="425"|[[%PAGE%|,]],¶!width="300"|,,,¶!width="200"|%DATE%¶|}¶
includetrim         =true
</DPL>

This piece of code has the includetrim=true switch, and it produces this :

Now what would have happened if we did not use includetrim=true ? Here it is :

{{Extension DPL}}{| border="0" style="background:black; color:white" cellspacing="0" border-collapse="collapse" bordercolor="black"
