The .HEADER LEVEL command allows you to specify both a section
number and a section title. Successive .HEADER LEVEL commands
of the same value (all .HEADER LEVEL 1's for example) cause the
section numbers to increase sequentially. This happens at all six
levels of headers. If your current section is in Chapter 2 and is
numbered 2.5.2.4 (a header level 3), then the following numbering
would result depending upon the .HEADER LEVEL command you used:
o .HL4 would number the next section 2.5.2.4.1
o .HL3 (or .HL without a value, since .HL defaults to the
current level) would number the next section 2.5.2.5
o .HL2 would number the next section 2.5.3
o .HL1 would number the next section 2.6
(See also .DISPLAY LEVELS, .NUMBER LEVEL, .SET LEVEL, and .STYLE
HEADERS.)
Following is a summary of default header level numbering for
three levels of three different types of documents:
