Section Divider Element

You can use sectiondiv elements to group content within a section element.

Guidelines

  • A sectiondiv element cannot contain a title element. If you want to introduce a hierarchy below the section element level, consider splitting content into multiple topics instead.
  • You can nest a sectiondiv element within a sectiondiv element. This is useful if you want to develop structured information within section elements.
  • You can use sectiondiv elements to reuse a group of elements from a section element.
  • Most publishing scenarios do not style the sectiondiv element in the output.

Example

The following example shows a section element that contains four levels of sectiondiv elements:

            Level 2
            <sectiondiv>
                Level 3
                <sectiondiv>
                    Level 4
                    <p>Paragraph on level 4</p>
                </sectiondiv>
                <p>Paragraph on level 3</p>
            </sectiondiv>
            <p>Paragraph on level 2</p>
        </sectiondiv>
        <p>Paragraph on level 1</p>
    </sectiondiv>
</section>
