public class Section
extends ArrayList<Element>
implements TextElementArray, LargeElement, Indentable, IAccessibleElement

A Section is a part of a Document containing other Sections, Paragraphs, List and/or Tables.

Remark: you can not construct a Section yourself. You will have to ask an instance of Section to the Chapter or Section to which you want to add the new Section.

Example:

 Paragraph title2 = new Paragraph("This is Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 18, Font.BOLDITALIC, new Color(0, 0, 255)));
 Chapter chapter2 = new Chapter(title2, 2);
 Paragraph someText = new Paragraph("This is some text");
 chapter2.add(someText);
 Paragraph title21 = new Paragraph("This is Section 1 in Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 16, Font.BOLD, new Color(255, 0, 0)));
 Section section1 = chapter2.addSection(title21);
 Paragraph someSectionText = new Paragraph("This is some silly paragraph in a chapter and/or section. It contains some text to test the functionality of Chapters and Section.");
 section1.add(someSectionText);
 Paragraph title211 = new Paragraph("This is SubSection 1 in Section 1 in Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 14, Font.BOLD, new Color(255, 0, 0)));
 Section section11 = section1.addSection(40, title211, 2);
 section11.add(someSectionText);
