echo from X to Y

[jaykup]

How would I go about doing something like this
echo (start at __X__ , end at __Y__)

__X__
a lot of stuff
goes here
to be echoed
even a lot of ' ` { } marks
__Y__

using Bash or Sh

This should work:

cat <<END_MARKER
text goes here
here
here
and here
END_MARKER
We use cat to echo, since the << redirection sends the text to the command's standard input.

Edit: Had to use cat, not echo
