In particular, most typesetting styles do not have an end of section marker, so it is not possible to visually distinguish a paragraph that follows a section from one that is at the end of the section. (Page breaks are the only typographical convention that tends to be used, but a paragraph delimited by a page break on each side would normally be interpreted as a section, or a mistake, even if it didn't have a heading. > > Alternatively, you could restrict it to normal blocks *or* other sections. > > h?, (block-level* | section*) Again interpolating level n paragraphs between leven n+1 sections isn't something that can normally be represented in traditional typography.
