Text Formatting ⇒ Resuming a section after an intervening subsection

[brennon]

I've searched and searched for an answer, but after wading through innumerous search results dealing with résumés, I can't seem to figure out how to "resume" a section after an intervening subsection. Is this possible? For instance.

Code: Select all

2 This is Section 2!

First paragraph of 
section two...
    And then another 
paragraph in section two.

2.1 How about a subsection?

Subsection 2.1's paragraph...  
And, that's enough.

Now, we're back in section 2, 
after leaving section 2.1.
This paragraph has a skip and
no indentation to show this.

Now that I've asked this, is it completely abnormal to do this? The reason I want to is to use the beginning of my section to introduce several points, go into detail on each of those in their own subsections, and then close the section with a discussion.

Thanks!

I see no problem in doing a résumé of a complete section. You could introduce it with an unnumbered heading.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \section{Section heading}
    \blindtext

    \subsection{Subsection heading}
      \blindtext

  \section*{Résumé}
    \blindtext
\end{document}

Choose the unnumbered heading as section or subsection, depending on what fits better your ideas.

As soon as the problem is solved, please act according Section 3 of the Board Rules (last two paragraphs).


Best regards

Actually, I was trying to say that my searches for "resume section after subsection", etc. were only returning matches that deal with typesetting résumés/CVs in LaTeX. This document is an article submission. Do you think doing this is out of place within this context?

Nevertheless, thank you for the reply! This fits my needs perfectly.

Perhaps your research would have been more successful with headwords like »Summary« or »Synopsis«. I'm not sure what you mean with the question. It can't do any harm to write a short review of the preceding text (if it has been very long).

I'm not sure what you mean with the question.

I think I may know what the disconnect is here. When searching for "resume section after subsection", I also tried searches such as "continue section", "continue section after subsection", and "continue preceding section after subsection". In other words, I'm not talking about a résumé, but using the word "resume" to mean "continue". I'm sorry for my poor communication!

I have exactly the same problem and the proposed solution doesn't work for me : I don't want to add any title to the continuation of my section. So I really do not want to create a new subsection but really end the subsection and go back to the section structure. Do you know any way of doing that ?
