[quickbook] chapters and sections

Hi, I just realized that quickbook does not have chapters! Looking at the boostbook.xml output, I see many chapters. In quickbook, a whole qbk is regarded as one whole chapter. I was wondering why we were generating a 2 level deep hierarchy of html pages. Deeper than that, the sub- sections are placed within it's parent section's html page. With chapters, we have more structure. Fortunately, this is easy to fix. I can easily add a [chapter title], [endchapter] markup built on top of the section mechanism. Actually, I can even do this without necessitating syntax change by simply assuming the outermost [section] as chapters. Your thoughts?

If your main concern is the chunking depth in the html generation, that can easily be adjusted by some xsl tweaks (assuming you are using Norman Walsh's xsl stylesheets, the procedure is documented here: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Chunking.html#ControllingChunks) HTH, Stefan
