According to the schema, you can have a para before the first section, but once you start using sections, you cannot have a para outside of some other structure (section, etc.). I believe that is intentional and has been that way for a while.

Editor: Oxygen 10.3 <article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; version="5.0"> <section> <para>text</para> <section> <para>text</para> </section> <para>text</para> (This paragraph shows as not allowed. Why?) </section> </article> Exports to the browser fine. Must I follow a <section> with a <section>, that works, but this would break up the flow of the document, which is an old report. Or is this a bug?
