Re: [NTG-context] Are nested sections possible?

Indeed, Hans, it would be nice to be able to nest sectionlevels within a chapter...section... scheme (which is NOT depreciated, although antiquated). Currently, \startsectionlevel will by default start a chapter. One would like it to start a section if located within a chapter, a subsection, if located within a section, etc. This should be possible.

Hello,

one more thing:

It would be nice to allow mixing:

- \section like commands (or \startsection ... \stopsection) - AND \startsectionlevel ... \stopsectionlevel.

The main problem is that one may NEED to mix:

- (ancient) source files which use \section (deprecated) style - with more versatile \start-\stopsectionlevel style in newer source files.

See the test attached - only the case 3 works universally with the \start-\stopstructurelevel; any mixing of sectioning styles doesn't yield a desired result.

Best regards,

Lukas

Sorry, Mica, but which is the gain in nesting sections (whether possible or not) over using subsections and subsubsections?

I can hardly imagine the sense in the point you’re making. (Sorry, it must be my fault.)

Think about including source in another source, for example.

Say one has an article that becomes a book, or gets included in a book, or the book gets parts. In the course of writing, one might decide to add an additional level of structure and not want to change all of the \start...\stop structure definitions.

In fact, using fixed section, subsection, subsubsection is a bit antiquated, isn't it?
