SimpleSect is one of the top-level sectioning elements in
a component. There are three types of sectioning elements in
DocBook:
Explicitly numbered sections, Sect1…Sect5,
which must be properly nested and can only be five levels deep.
Recursive Sections, which are alternative to the numbered
sections and have unbounded depth.
SimpleSects, which are terminal. SimpleSects can
occur as the “leaf” sections in either recursive sections or any
of the numbered sections, or directly in components.
SimpleSects may be more convenient than numbered
sections in some authoring environments because they can be
moved around in the document hierarchy without renaming.
None of the sectioning elements is allowed to “float” in a component. You can place paragraphs and other block elements before a section, but you cannot place anything after it.
These elements contain simplesect:
appendix, article, chapter, partintro, preface, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section.

abstract, address, anchor, authorblurb, beginpage, bibliolist, blockquote, bridgehead, calloutlist, caution, classsynopsis, cmdsynopsis, constraintdef, constructorsynopsis, destructorsynopsis, epigraph, equation, example, fieldsynopsis, figure, formalpara, funcsynopsis, glosslist, graphic, graphicco, highlights, important, indexterm, informalequation, informalexample, informalfigure, informaltable, itemizedlist, literallayout, mediaobject, mediaobjectco, methodsynopsis, msgset, note, orderedlist, para, procedure, productionset, programlisting, programlistingco, qandaset, remark, screen, screenco, screenshot, segmentedlist, sidebar, simpara, simplelist, subtitle, synopsis, table, task, tip, title, titleabbrev, variablelist, warning.
