    the ``Timer`` class within the file.
 
+   Alternately, you can specify exactly which lines to include by giving a
+   ``lines`` option::
+
+      .. literalinclude:: example.py
+         :lines: 1,3,5-10,20-
+
+   This includes the lines 1, 3, 5 to 10 and lines 20 to the last line.

+   Another way to control which part of the file is included is to use the
+   ``start-after`` and ``end-before`` options (or only one of them).  If
+   ``start-after`` is given as a string option, only lines that follow the first
+   line containing that string are included.  If ``end-before`` is given as a
+   string option, only lines that precede the first lines containing that string
+   are included.
