Hello,

seconds. We are using the Personal Edition in both cases.

In our custom configuration package (for XLingPaper), we have a way for
a user to promote or demote a section. The process extracts the section

where the getDemotedSections command is

The DemoteSections.xsl changes the level of the section elements.
