Re: How to exit out of s subsection?

How do you expect or want the rendering of the last “subsection piece” to be rendered differently than if it’s part of the sub-sub-section? I don’t immediately recall ever seeing anything like this in, for example, math books with multi-level sections.

Sometimes I feel the need to exist out of a subsection to the parent section. For example, say I have following document

= Section

== Subsection

=== Subsubsection

I write something here which should go into the Subsubsection

Now I want this piece to text to be part of my Subsection but I don't want to begin a new subsection. How an I do this?

The use case of this is when I want to give an exercise in a subsection, then I need to exit out to parent section.

Re: How to exit out of s subsection?

That doesn’t match my idea of the semantics of a subsection. Instead it seems to me like a sort of named block. Have you tried other approaches such as a description list?

If you are adventurous you could write a block processor that puts the contents of the block into a document and returns the document to become a block in the enclosing section. I discovered that the js ainclude block macro I’m developing does this (accidentally :-). I can give you some advice if you want to take this approach. This is “using the API’ as Dan said would work.
