section

This element is used to create a section within a topic.

Usage

Enter the element in the topic with a nested content element that contains the section's content. An optional title element can be used to provide a title for the section. The content element will contain other MAML elements, nested lists, tables, etc. Text should be contained in a para element.

A section can contain a sections element that is used to create subsections. The sections element contains one or more section elements for the subsections. Subsections can themselves contain a sections element for additional subsections nested any number of levels deep. See the autoOutline topic for an example with subsections.
