A. Description

Formats a section's title (including numbering, if applicable) then allows all child elements to be processed. The title is formatted the using LaTeX mapping identified by the equivalent explicit element (e.g. sect1 [2.0.9], etc.).

C. Template Parameters

bridgehead

If true(), the title is processed like a bridgehead [2.0.9] (that is, the section is unnumbered and does not appear in the toc [2.0.9]). This parameter defaults to false() unless the section appears within a preface.

level

The numeric nesting level of the section. This is automatically calculated as "one greater than the number of ancestor section [2.0.9]s".

B. Pertinent Variables

There are no configuration variables for this template.

D. DocBook Compliance and LaTeX Notes

Titles for sections nested beyond a depth of five are formatted like sect5 [2.0.9].

Currently, “info” elements (e.g. sectioninfo [2.0.9]), subtitle [2.0.9] and titleabbrev [2.0.9] are not honoured.

The use of special components such as toc [2.0.9], lot [2.0.9], index [2.0.9] and glossary [2.0.9] is unlikely to be successful.

LaTeX makes no semantic distinction between section [2.0.9] and simplesect [2.0.9].
