What about reading until the next paragraph, i.e. an empty line?

Well, a very trivial one: I have to write a text in word-compatible
format. So I wanted to write it in LaTeX and later copy-paste to OOo,
then delete all \section etc. and do a bit formatting. But if
\section{title} has the closing brace, I have to use regular expressions
to delete them.
No big thing, but I would be a little bit easier with \section scanning
until the end of line instead of braces.
