| Description: |
A hierarchical structure of a measure. If present, usually a top-level hierarchical structure, containing titles (structure of legislation) within it. The formatting of a subdivision (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 “Subdivision ” before the enumerator and any punctuation or spacing surrounding or following the enumerator or the header. Accordingly, such punctuation will not be keyed and will not be part of the data. |
