/ Peter Brooks <pbrooks@appliedsemantics.com> was heard to say:
| 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.
All the sections have to come "last". In other words, if you have this structure:
<section>
<title>Some Title</title>
<!-- point A -->
<para>Some material</para>
<!-- point B -->
</section>
You can add a new section at "point B" but not at "point A" (because
that would put the paragraph after the section and that's not
allowed).
Does that help?
Be seeing you,
