Simplify sticky article code duplication

Here is my problem, and I have had it since I started using TXP. Let’s say I have 8 sections and all have their own specific sticky article. I can get them to display correctly with the code below, but, ugh, how ugly is the repition!

Is there any way to change this:
<code>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“pocketpc”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“pocketpc” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“palm”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“palm” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“blackberry”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“blackberry” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“phones”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“phones” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“mediaplayers”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“mediaplayers” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“misc”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“misc” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“custom”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“custom” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“extras”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” section=“extras” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
</code>

to something like this:
<code>
<txp:mdn_if_section section=“pocketpc, palm, blackberry, phones, mediaplayers, misc, custom, extras”>
<txp:article_custom form=“section_headers” status=“sticky” limit=“1”/>
</txp:mdn_if_section>
</code>

and still have the correct article (and not the last one posted like the above code returns) showing up in the correct section.

Thanks,
Aaron

Re: Simplify sticky article code duplication

Is there a reason why
<code>
<txp:if_section name=“pocketpc,palm,blackberry,phones,mediaplayers,misc,custom,extras”>
<txp:article form=“section_headers” status=“sticky” limit=“1” />
</txp:if_section>
</code>
wouldn’t work?

Thanks so much. Some times the simplest answer eludes me.
