Deep logical divisions not treated as logical divisions in latex #32

Closed jcoulombe closed 13 years ago

jcoulombe commented 13 years ago

Hi,

Logical divisions below \subsubsection (\paragraph, etc) have output formatting applied (\itshape, etc) instead of being converted to real logical divisions. In articles, for example, where the highest level is not \part, but \section, this can be a problem (visually, and for \autoref).

HTML output seems ok, though (h4, h5, h6...).

Thanks

MMD has never applied logical divisions below subsubsection in memoir. I'm not sure that paragraph, etc really match up with what most people intend when they do h4, h5.

Can you send me a "real" example document that demonstrates what you want to have as output? I'm inclined not to change things, but want to see some real life documents that would benefit from changes.

I guess this really brings up a larger issue --- since MMD can be used to generate various types of end documents, should the default behavior be to start with \part and work down the list? It would be up to the author to ensure that the correct levels are used with the correct output type?

Hmmm... I'm not sure I get your point. The only "larger issue" I thought I was bringing up was: there should be segmentation between form and function --- section titles should be section titles (mmd source as well as output), and what it looks like should depend only on the chosen output (css, stylesheet, preambule, etc).

since MMD can be used to generate various types of end documents, should the default behavior be to start with \part [...]

Again, not sure what you mean. I find the current Base Header Level and/or memoir vs snippet approach perfect, but we might be referring to different things.

Could you give examples, please?

Thanks

I changed the output of memoir mode and regular latex mode to be in sync, and to use all supported structural division (with exception of \subparagraph when using XSLT for technical reasons).

It is up to user to ensure proper Base Header Level metadata is set based on output document class.

Let me know if there are issues with this approach
