Re: [Docutils-users] transition inside container

[David G. <go...@py...>]

Transitions are structural elements, along with sections & sidebars.
Containers are body elements, which cannot contain structural
elements. See docs/ref/docutils.dtd for complete technical details.

You could simulate a transition with an empty paragraph (escaped space: "\ ").

Compared to Docutils, HTML has a much more permissive, anything-goes,
way-too-loose document model.
