Depending on the complexity of your document and how whitespace
is treated, you can do most of them pretty easily:

   :g/^Lesson \d\+//^Abstract/;/^-\@!/t$

through the help of manual, i can get the following symbol's meaning now. 

^ To the first non-blank character of the line.

|exclusive| motion.

\d digit: [0-9] */\d*

\+ Matches 1 or more of the preceding atom, as many as possible. {not in

Vi}

Example matches ~

^.\+$ any non-empty line

\s\+ white space of at least one character

/;      E386    A very special offset is ';' followed by another search command. 

\@! Matches with zero width if the preceding atom does NOT match at the

current position. |/zero-width| {not in Vi}

Like '(?!pattern)" in Perl.

remained question: what does "//" mean?
