I didn't think that DocBook technically allowed you to have subsection content such as paragraphs directly following a section. How are you validating your XML?

Subject: output order preface epub3

 

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is a bug or my xml. The structure is below:

<preface>
<title>Foreword</title>

<para>...</para>
<para ....</para>

<section>
<title>...</title>
<para>...</para>
<para>...</para>
</section>

<section>
<title>...</title>
<para>...</para>
<para>...</para>
</section>

<section>
<title>...</title>
<para>...</para>
<para>...</para>
</section>

<para>...</para>
<para>...</para>
<para>...</para>
</preface>

In the epub 3 the paragraphs at the end are outputted after the paragraphs at the start before the first section. Do I need to just wrap the first and last paragraphs into a simplesect to avoid this?

It works fine in the FO output.
