#8 DEP4E wizard not permitting a sect1 level to be created

[David Jackson]

I am breaking my source into more granular levels of embedded xi:includes at the Chapter level then with in each chapter I am the including xi:includes at each section level. This will make maintenance easier.
However I want to use sect1 , sect2, sect3 etc instead of nested sections.
When I create a DocBook file using the DEP4E wizard - it will not let me create a file at the sect1 level - it only permits a section to be the lowest level.

If I proceed and create that section file then change the created source 'section' to 'sect1' and save the file - the file in the tree now shows an X instead of the DOCBOOK icon - see the attached image.
I think this is a bug in DEP4E as the entire docbook compiles just fine with these XI:includes at the sect1 level so it is legal syntax.

OK that's fine. I will change my source to reference embedded

instead of sect1.

Thanks
David

DEP4E only support recursive sections, because this element is more
flexible and convenient to use and easier to understand.

As Expleined in TDG 5 (see: http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/section.html):
"Explicitly numbered sections, sect1…sect5, which must be properly nested
and can only be five levels deep. Recursive sections, which are an
alternative to the numbered sections and have unbounded depth. The section
element may be more convenient than numbered sections in some authoring
environments because instances can be moved around in the document
hierarchy without renaming."
