Subject: Sections and SimpleSect
Hello world, I have misunderstood something about DocBook that's been true essentially forever. Or maybe I understood it once and forgot it. I believed that simplesect was a terminal section inside a component (or a section or a sect[1..5]). That is, you could have sect1 sect2.../sect2 simplesect.../simplesect /sect1 but NOT sect1 simplesect.../simplesect sect2.../sect2 /sect1 It turns out that this isn't the case. Simplesect is terminal in an even more demanding way: a component or section can contain *either* the appropriate level of section element *or* simplesect. So this is valid: sect1 simplesect.../simplesect /sect1 but this *IS NOT* sect1 sect2.../sect2 simplesect.../simplesect /sect1 Is there a reason for this? Has anyone else noticed it? Does anyone else care? I "fixed" DocBook NG yesterday, but I guess I'll unfix it.
