Description
Some documents, usually legacy documents, use headings that are
not tied to the normal sectional hierarchy. These headings may be
represented in DocBook with the bridgehead
element.
A bridgehead may also be useful in fiction or
journalistic works that don’t have a nested hierarchy.
Processing expectations
A bridgehead is formatted as a block, using
the same display properties as the section heading which it
masquerades as. The renderas
attribute controls which heading it mimics.
