Adding a heading before a subsection or paragraph

Occasionally a subsection within a Bill section or a paragraph within an SI regulation/article may need to have an italic heading before it.

However, simply placing your cursor in the subsection or paragraph, clicking Enter and selecting “Heading” will result in the heading being place incorrectly.

This page describes two methods for inserting the heading correctly, i.e. before the subsection or paragraph content.

Option 1 - Using tags to guide you

  1. From the upper tool bar, select "Document > Preferences" and select "Block tags" from the Tag Display Mode drop-down menu. 

  2. Place your cursor before the 'num' element of the provision that you want to insert a subheading before

  3. Click 'Enter' to access the Insert menu/CCA and select 'Heading'. 

  4. The system will insert a heading above the num, formatted in italics by default

  5. Remove 'Block tags' view from your preferences to return to normal drafting

Option 2 - Using the breadcrumbs to guide you

  1. Place your cursor in the 'num' element of the element that you want to insert a subheading before. 

  2. Use the back arrow on the keyboard to move your cursor leftwards through the element tags (the element that your cursor appears in will be shown in the breadcrumb so in the section example, it will show Bill > body > section > subsection > Num In this example, when you get to 'Subsection'

  3. Click 'Enter' to access the Insert menu/CCA and select 'Heading'

  4. The system will insert a heading in the correct location, formatted in italics by default.
