Abstract
Applies to all kinds of written documents, for example manuscripts, printed works, books, journal articles, directions for use and standards. Numbering of divisions and subdivisions is advocated if this - clarifies the sequence, importance and interrelation of individual divisions and subdivisions; - simplifies search and retrieval of certain passages in the text; - makes possible the citation of single parts of the text; - facilitates references within a written work.
