5.3.3 Sectioning commands

The Notation Reference uses section headings at four, occasionally five, levels.

The first three levels are numbered in html, the last two are not. Numbered sections correspond to a single html page in the split html documents.

The first four levels always have accompanying nodes so they can be referenced and are also included in the ToC in html.

Most of the manual is written at level 4 under headings created with

@node Foo
@unnumberedsubsubsec Foo

Level 3 subsections are created with

@node Foo
@subsection Foo

Nodes must be included inside a

@menu
* foo::
* bar::
@end menu

construct. These are easily constructed with automatic tools; see Scripts to ease doc work.
