Description
A simplesect is one of the top-level sectioning
elements in a component. There are
two
types of sectioning elements in DocBook:
Recursive
sections, which are alternatives to the numbered sections and have unbounded depth.simplesects, which are terminal. Thesimplesects can occur as the “leaf” sections in either recursive sections or any of the numbered sections, or directly in components.
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.
The important semantic distinction of simplesect
elements is that they never appear in the table of contents.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. A simplesect element
never appears in the table of contents.
