Re: DOCBOOK: simple docbook

/ Robert Koberg <rob@koberg.com> was heard to say:
| I was curious why section was used over sect1, sect2, etc?  Using the
| sectn's is so easy and clean. It maps so nicely to html H1,H2 etc.

Mostly because <section> is one tag and <sect1>, <sect2>, ... <sect5>
is five. Many people find the recursive section easier and simpler to
deal with.

| If I wanted to stay true to the standard simplified version is it possible
| to use sect1-6?

No, but I wouldn't let that stop me :-). You can create a
customization of the simplified version that replaces section with the
sect1-5 elements.
