Hello! I see this issue as an "intellectual bug". I do not understand why one could not insert a <section> between two <para> excepted maybe an overdose of "computer cartesianism". Are there (shouldn't it be) some authors in the docbook's commities ? I say this because I do sometimes take my head between my hands asking why I could not do something that is natural with my mind... And I can not choose between xxe or docbook's fault at first tight. But keep smiling, I'm still using xxe and docbook and they are better and better, and I think I write well with...
Now, the "killer" question : we are several asking for a "layout mode", that is, an easy and productive way to work at the layout of a (docbook) document. As I did mail this list, you seems to find this interesting and a good / reasonable wish. What is it on, if something is, whith this issue? Cheers Michel:-) Denis Bradford a ?crit: >I believe that docbook does not allow subsections in the position you >want, and that it must be the last element in the parent section.
