Some documents, usually legacy documents, use headings that are
not tied to the normal sectional hieararchy.
These headings may be
represented in DocBook with the BridgeHead element.
BridgeHeads may also be useful in fiction or journalistic
works that don't have a nested hierarchy.
A BridgeHead is formatted as a block, using the same
display properties as the section heading which it
masquerades as. The RenderAs
attribute controls which heading it mimics.
The InterfaceDefinition
element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available
in the content model of this element.
These elements contain bridgehead:
answer, appendix, article, bibliodiv, bibliography, blockquote, callout, caution, chapter, constraintdef, glossary, glossdiv, important, index, itemizedlist, listitem, msgexplan, msgtext, note, orderedlist, partintro, preface, procedure, qandadiv, qandaset, question, refsect1, refsect2, refsect3, refsection, refsynopsisdiv, revdescription, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section, setindex, sidebar, simplesect, step, taskprerequisites, taskrelated, tasksummary, tip, variablelist, warning.
The following elements occur in bridgehead:
abbrev, acronym, action, anchor, application, author, authorinitials, biblioref, citation, citebiblioid, citerefentry, citetitle, classname, code, command, computeroutput, constant, corpauthor, corpcredit, database, email, emphasis, envar, errorcode, errorname, errortext, errortype, exceptionname, filename, firstterm, footnote, footnoteref, foreignphrase, function, glossterm, guibutton, guiicon, guilabel, guimenu, guimenuitem, guisubmenu, hardware, indexterm, inlineequation, inlinegraphic, inlinemediaobject, interface, interfacename, keycap, keycode, keycombo, keysym, link, literal, markup, medialabel, menuchoice, methodname, modespec, mousebutton, nonterminal, olink, ooclass, ooexception, oointerface, option, optional, orgname, othercredit, package, parameter, personname, phrase, productname, productnumber, prompt, property, quote, remark, replaceable, returnvalue, revhistory, sgmltag, structfield, structname, subscript, superscript, symbol, systemitem, termdef, token, trademark, type, ulink, uri, userinput, varname, wordasword, xref.
The RenderAs attribute identifies how the
BridgeHead should be rendered. In this way, a
BridgeHead can be made to appear as a Sect1,
for example.
