Line edited for page giving you a jump (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leapfrog

'a jump' is the definition.
(I know that leapfrog is a more specific form of the action jump)

'line edited for page' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'edited' is an anagram indicator.
'for'+'page'='forpage'
'forpage' anagrammed gives 'eapfrog'.
'l'+'eapfrog'='LEAPFROG'

'giving you' is the link.

(Other definitions for leapfrog that I've seen before include "Child's game of jumping over other children" , "Children's game of jumping over each other" , "Children's game in which one jumps over the other alternately" , "bound over" , "Jump over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
