TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Word MVP John Nurick once had this slightly tongue-in-cheek point in respect
of deeply nested headings.
========================
In my experience, writers who believe they need more than 6 levels of
headings usually need counselling, sometimes even psychiatric treatment (I
usually prescribe proseroxatimephinine lithioid oxaloacetatate 40mg/day, but
YMMV).
In any case, scientific research (Goldblatt & Heyhoe, 1968) shows that
university-educated readers exposed to documents with more than 7 levels of
headings for more than 37 minutes per day over a five-week period experience
lasting depression of actinic activity in the antihypothalamiserotinic
syntagmic nexus.
