Hi Bob,

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.

Perfect. Thanks much!

Cheers,

Stefan

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
