<p>"Sectioning" refers to organization of a document into separate sections, each with a title, some text, and possibly subsections. Each section is described in BoostBook via a &lt;section&gt; element. An introduction section may look like this:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
&lt;section id="any.intro"&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Introduction&lt;/title&gt;
 
  &lt;para&gt;Introduction to a library...&lt;/para&gt;

  &lt;section&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;A Subsection&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;para&gt;Subsection information...&lt;/para&gt;
  &lt;/section&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
</pre>
<p>The &lt;section&gt; element contains all information that
    should logically be grouped within that section. The title of the
    section is placed within the &lt;title&gt; element, and any
    paragraphs, programs, lists, tables, or subsections can occur
    within the section. The <code class="computeroutput">id</code> attribute of the
    &lt;section&gt; element gives a unique ID to each section, so that
    it may later be identified for linking. It is suggested that all
    IDs start with the short name of a library followed by a period,
    so that IDs do not conflict between libraries.</p>
