docbook

I have a word document that I am converting to docbook. This word document has short sections that are quoted from another document.

I thinking that I should use a blockquote or sidebar to contain the quoted document. But how do I go about making random headings in non sequential order?

For example I might be quoting a section of a document that looks like this:

--------------------------------------
B. Damage Assessment
   blah...paragraphs

   B.1 Responsibilities.
     some stuff...

   B.2 Authority
     some more stuff...
--------------------------------------

Those headings are totally unrelated to the flow of the containing document.

Is this an appropriate place to use the bridgehead element?

By the looks of it, I wouldn't be surprised if "Starting with Lift" has been created from DocBook. I looked in Lift's Git repositories, but I haven't been able to find the source DocBook documents. So, is it really based on DocBook? And if it is, is it available from some public repository? >>> More
