Yes, simplesect does all those things. You can control whether or not they
appear in the table of contents with the 'simplesect.in.toc' parameter.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Alternatives to bridgeheads
We're currently using <bridgehead> a lot to emulate <section>, mostly
where we don't want sections to be split out into separate HTML pages (and
where we can't prevent that simply via the chunking level).
<bridgehead> has a number of drawbacks, though, one of them being that
it's not a container element.
I guess we're looking for something that satisfies these requirements:
* Produces a separate (not inline) title, unlike <formalpara>
* Takes a <title>, so that it can be xref'ed without having to supply the
link text, unlike <bridgehead>
* Acts as a wrapper around the associated content, unlike <bridgehead>,
and unlike <formalpara> (which wraps only a limited set of elements, not
including lists for example)
* Does not produce a standalone section (unlike <section> which might or
might not depending on nesting depth)
I don't know of anything like that. Does it exist? Does <simplesect> do
all that?
Cheers,
Stefan
