Additional attributes:
Some documents, usually legacy documents, use headings that are not tied to the normal sectional hieararchy. These headings may be represented in DocBook with the bridgehead element.
A bridgehead may also be useful in fiction or journalistic works that don't have a nested hierarchy.
A bridgehead is formatted as a block, using the same display properties as the section heading which it masquerades as. The renderas attribute controls which heading it mimics.
