Is it possible to pull non-custom attribute composer form Content (as in content block text) into a Page List view template?

I've done it like this, replacing the line where $description comes from the attribute

[code]
$pBlocks = $page->GetBlocks();
foreach ($pBlocks as $pBlock){
if ($pBlock->btHandle == 'content') {
$blockContent = $pBlock->getInstance();
$description = $blockContent->getContent();
}
}

Finally got to this phase of the project, this worked a treat. I tweaked it a bit to truncate to the first paragraph, leaving this here for posterity... may help someone else. 

// get description composer form block content   
        $pBlocks = $page->GetBlocks();
              foreach ($pBlocks as $pBlock){
                    if ($pBlock->btHandle == 'content') {
                        $blockContent = $pBlock->getInstance();
                        $description = $blockContent->getContent();
                        // truncate it to the first paragraph, so we don't pickup unordered feature lists for listings view - td
                        $description = substr($description,0, strpos($description, "</p>")+4);
                    }
              }
