RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Sections only nesting

[Stuart Farnan <stuart@neoworks.com>]

Hi,

Thanks for that, sorry, I gave a bad explanation, I have a root element of
article.

if I have 

<article>
	...
	...
	<section>
		<title>...</title>
	</section
<!--
	<section>
		<title>...</title>
	</section
-->
</article>

Thiw parses and validates fine, but when I remove the comments to include
the other section(s) I get a parse error in the line number that holds the
opening tag of the second section.

Any ideas on this,

Thanks,

Stuart

For what I know, you always need a "root" element in your document.
Can't you use "chapter" or "part" for example? It would be:

<chapter>
<section>
	<title>...</title>
	.
	.
</section>
<section>
	<title>...</title>
	.
	.
</section>
   .
   .
   .
</chapter>
