Re: How many levels of indents and heads are reasonable?

I stop at four levels.  Anything more than that an my eyes start
to blur, and I never assume that my readers will be able to
use something that I can't.  It's an unscientifuc method, but I've
yet to have anyone complain that there aren't enough numbered
levels in their documents.
