Description Joshua Wulf 2011-06-08 07:49:58 UTC 
The EAP Publican brand source is here: https://svn.devel.redhat.com/repos/ecs/Middleware/publican-JBoss_EAP6/

In order to support xsl transform to DITA in the future, the EAP6 Publican brand needs to have the html chunking tweaked. 

Currently if we have sub-sections in topics, we lose appended navigation blocks to another html page.

The current workaround is to disallow sub-sections by using a customized DTD, and prescribe formalpara as the alternative to provide "section"-like titles.

However, this means that we can't write a simple xsl transform rule to change a Docbook 4.5 "topic" to a DITA or Docbook 5.1 topic.

So we should modify the brand to make topics with subsections display properly.
Comment 1 Joshua Wulf 2012-02-03 07:31:15 UTC 
Having formalparas instead of subsections breaks our migration path to DITA.

If we can enable subsections in topics, that will be good.
Comment 2 Lee Newson 2012-11-23 05:35:46 UTC 
Closing this as WONTFIX since the brand has been deprecated and isn't used or even usable anymore.
