re How many levels of indents and heads are reasonable?

["nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il" <nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il>]

At more than three or four levels, sometimes 
it makes sense to start thinking about further
division not at the bottom level but at
the top level-- making two chapters out of
one, or introducing a new top level such as
the volume or book or tractate.  A new top
level can sometimes give you leeway to promote
existing headings upward by one level, which
may improve reader-friendliness.
