There's also part{}.

Indeed, if your writing is to be read by other people, not just yourself, you should try to stay to no more than two levels. If you feel you need levels deeper than two, perhaps your should refactor your writing.

When I say "two" do I mean * and **, or do I mean ** and ***? Well, I guess that depends upon what the value of two is.

Moreover, as we can already see in this discussion, any attempt to correct errors of style, grammar or spelling will itself contain additional errors. This phenomenon is sometimes called Muphry's Law. Yes, Muphry, not Murphy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law
