Re: Adding a level to the hierarchy

[Benjamin Kalish]

Thanks, Gavin. I've been trying exactly that, mostly relying on tables.

For better or for worse, this is not possible.  You could try to reduce
the number of levels.  Without seeing the manual in question it is hard
to make specific suggestions.  You could try using the @table command
for the lowest level of structuring if it is appropriate for the content,
which would give an extra level.

It may be confusing for the reader to have too many levels of structuring.
They could get lost in the manual and find it hard to navigate.
