This tag helps to create a section inside a page block. Multiple sections can be created in a page block and each section can be used to display any fields (input/output).
A pageBlockSection component consists of one or more columns, By default it's two.each of which spans two cells: one for a field's label, and one for its value. Each component found in the body of an < apex:pageBlockSection > is placed into the next cell in a row until the number of columns is reached.
This tag supports following attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
| collapsible | A Boolean value that specifies whether the page block section can be expanded and collapsed by a user. If true, a user can expand and collapse the section. If not specified, this value defaults to true. |
| columns | The number of columns that can be included in a single row of the page block section. Note that a single column spans two cells - one for a field's label, and one for its value. If you use child inputField, outputField, or pageBlockSectionItem components in the pageBlockSection, each of the child components is displayed in one column, spanning both cells. If you use any other components in the pageBlockSection, each of the child components is displayed in one column, displaying only in the rightmost cell of the column and leaving the leftmost column cell blank. While you can specify one or more columns for a pageBlockSection, Salesforce stylesheets are optimized for either one or two columns. If not specified, this value defaults to 2. |
