Frank, A subtitle in DocBook is for additional information to follow the title. It isn't for breaking up a block into subsections or demarking areas of the text. You can't put it just anywhere in the block.
It sounds like what you are looking for is a <bridgehead> -- a heading that can be placed between paragraphs. But that's one of the elements eliminated from Simplified DocBook. I don't see an option in Simplified Docbook that is simpler than just nesting sections. --Aaron On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 12:13 PM, Frank Arensmeier <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi. > > Just a quick question.
