A headed group of material; the basic structural unit of a book component such as a chapter
A very short book component (e.g., a chapter) may contain nothing but paragraphs (and other paragraph-level elements such as figures and tables), but most book components are divided into sections, each with a title that describes the content of the section, such as “Introduction”.
Conversion Note: Sections are recursive, that is, various levels of sections are indicated by containment, not by different names for the subsections. A Section<sec> element may contain lower level sections that are also tagged using the Section<sec> element, not tagged explicitly as <sec2>, <sec3>, or <subsec1>, etc.
Conversion Note: The <sec> element can be used within <back> to tag material that has not been explicitly named as one of the other back matter components, that is, it is not named as an appendix, an acknowledgment, a glossary, etc. For example, tables are frequently placed in the back matter, with no other designation than a label such as “Table 6”, or a title such as “Epochs of Geologic Time”.
