Adding <para> to a <sect1> between <simplesect>

[Chris Borg <Chris.Borg@AssetHouse.com>]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone knows a way around a problem we are encountering with the
addition of paragraphs inbetween sections (simplesect)? The code snippet
below illustrates the problem where we have paragraphs and sections that we
hope to import from another document using xinclude and xpointer. After the
imported sections we would like to include additional paragraphs with
explanitory narrative. However, docbook does not allow these paragraphs
inbetween sections under, in this case <sect1>. It only allows <para>
between <sect1> and the first section.

Alternatively, is there a tag that allows multiple <para> to be grouped in a
higher level tag which I can then be given an id and used to import with
xinclude within a section?

Thanks and regards
Chris

(imported using xinclude)	<para>Summary para will go here which is
imported using Xinclude and Xpointer</para>

					<para>description para 1 will go
here which is imported using Xinclude and Xpointer</para>
					<para>description para 2 will go
here which is imported using Xinclude and Xpointer</para>
