Subject: DOCBOOK: Simplified DocBook Q: Nested Section elements
This is almost certainly a newbie question, but so far I haven't been able to locate an answer in the archives. I'm using Simplified DocBook (with XXE: XMLmind's XML Editor V2.0beta, under Win2K) and experiencing what may be a bug with regard to attempting to nest Section elements. Whether that bug arises somehow in Simplified DocBook or in XXE I can't tell - hence my query here. It appears that if I create a handful of sections to map out the (somewhat known) structure of a document in progress, then create some content in one of the sections (as it is provided to me), if I attempt to nest a section within that section that now has content, it is not possible - the section element is not offered in the list of allowed elements. If I go to one of the "empty" sections, where no content has been developed, and attempt to nest sections, I can do so to my heart's content :) One possible interim solution is to create all the nested sections I can imagine, and then later delete those I end up not needing, but that's not a satisfactory long term solution. If a section has para elements in it, I can still nest sections, so the type of content seems to be important. It's possible that the presence in a section of itemized or ordered lists may be the sticking point, but so far the pressure of looming deadlines has prevented me from experimenting further. Anyone have any (polite) suggestions/ideas? Many thanks, Peter Brooks Contract Technical Writer
