(db.html.informaltable)A simplesect
is one of the top-level sectioning elements in a component. There are three types of sectioning elements in DocBook:
Explicitly numbered sections, sect1
…sect5
, which must be properly nested and can only be five levels deep.
Recursive section
s, which are alternative to the numbered sections and have unbounded depth.
And simplesect
s, which are terminal. The simplesect
s can occur as the “leaf” sections in either recursive sections or any of the numbered sections, or directly in components.
None of the sectioning elements is allowed to “float” in a component. You can place paragraphs and other block elements before a section, but you cannot place anything after it.
The important semantic distinction of simplesect
elements is that they never appear in the Table of Contents.
Formatted as a displayed block. A simplesect
element never appears in the Table of Contents.
