4.2 Hierarchical Structure
LaTeX expects documents to be arranged in a conventional,
hierarchical way, with chapters, sections, sub-sections,
appendixes, and the like. These are marked using macros rather
than environments, probably because the end of a section can be
safely inferred when a section of equal or higher level starts.
There are six ``levels'' of sectioning in the document classes
used for Python documentation, and the deepest two
levels1 are not used. The levels are:
| Level |
Macro Name |
Notes |
| 1 |
\chapter |
(1) |
| 2 |
\section |
|
| 3 |
\subsection |
|
| 4 |
\subsubsection |
|
| 5 |
\paragraph |
(2) |
| 6 |
\subparagraph |
|
Notes:
- (1)
- Only used for the
manual documents, as described in
section 5, ``Document Classes.''
- (2)
- Not the same as a paragraph of text; nobody seems to use this.
Footnotes
- ... levels1
- The deepest levels have the highest numbers in the
table.
