Another interesting way is to use start-stop sections is as specified by rfc2629 [1]: \startsection is nestable, so that you can have

\startsection {first section}

\startsection {first subsection}

\stopsection

\startsection {second subsection}

\stopsection

\stopsection

which makes it easy to move things around, promote demote section levels, etc.

That would be really, really nice!

Hi, \startchapter \startsection ... \stopsection \stopchapter can be implemented by adding a few lines in the \definhead macros and should be the default method. Nested sections should be implemented in a module and shipped with the main files. Look in the attachment for a example, I wrote a few weeks ago. What we need is a specification what is needed (reporting for opening and closing sections in the log file) and support by Hans to include the macros. We should also collect other macros, that need a start/stop pair and provide patches how they can be integrated (can be done in the wiki). Wolfgang
