    <!-- On the next line, place the title of your first section. -->
    <title>
</title>
    <!-- Add the body of your first section here. -->
  </section>
  <!--Place additional sections here with <section>...</section>
   !  tags.

</article>

Note the last few lines above. This is the skeleton of the first section of your document. Place the section's title inside the title element, and add the section's content after it.

Each section element is a top-level section. They will be numbered as sections 1, 2, 3, and so on. To add subsections, use a section element inside the section element. For example:

  <section>
    <title>Main section title</title>
    <para>Main section content...</para>
    <section>
      <title>First subsection title</title>
      <para>First subsection content...</para>
    </section>
    <section>
      <title>Second subsection title</title>
      <para>Second subsection content...</para>
    </section>
  </section>

If the main section were section 3, then the two subsections inside it would be numbered 3.1 and 3.2.

You can include more section elements for sub-sub-sections, and so on.
