MIL-STD-490A and MIL-STD-961E require that only the first letter of the first word in the paragraph identification be capitalized. If practicable, each paragraph and subparagraph should be given a subject identification. The author encourages numbering every paragraph, regardless of the number of indentures used, to support simple traceability and verification referencing.
The use of letters or bullets was found necessary in any voluminous specification because of the limitation of seven levels. For clarity of text, paragraph numbering should be limited to seven levels. Itemization within a paragraph or subparagraph should be identified by lowercase letters to avoid confusion with paragraph numerals.
There follows an example in the context of Section 3 of a specification: Each paragraph and subparagraph should be numbered consecutively within each section of the specification, using a period to separate the number representing each breakdown.
