    While preparing an article in the following format I receive a not allowed
    instruction.
    Editor: Oxygen 10.3

    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0">

    <para>text</para>

    <para>text</para>

    * <para>text</para>* (This paragraph shows as not allowed. Why?)



    Exports to the browser fine.
    Must I follow a
    with a
    , that works, but this would break
    up the flow of the document, which is an old report.
    Or is this a bug?

    According to the schema, you can have a para before the first section,
    but once you start using sections, you cannot have a para outside of
    some other structure (section, etc.).

    I believe that is intentional and has been that way for a while.

    For me, if content were allowed after a section, it's hard to imagine
    how you would render it in a way that made it clear which section it
    belongs to. What you have may be a <sidebar>. Worst case you could use
    <bridgehead>s to match the "structure" of the legacy content.
