| Description: |
A hierarchical structure of a measure.
The formatting of a chapter (structure of legislation) will be according to the rules of the style (such as OLC style or United States Code Style) in effect. The style will control such display issues as the fonts and highlighting used, the margins, and the indentation levels. The style will also control generation of text, for example, the word “Chapter ” before the enumerator and any punctuation or spacing surrounding or following the enumerator. For example, a chapter (structure of legislation) in OLC style will have a generated em-dash following the Enumerator. Accordingly, such punctuation will not be keyed and will not be part of the data.
Any necessary punctuation and spaces following the header will also be generated for display or printing. For example, when a chapter (structure of legislation) follows OLC style, the display or print system will generate a centered header with no punctuation following. |
