Part 1: Levels
LAWLIFT and Word follow the same logic:
First, we distinguish between headings and paragraphs. These can be assigned up to 9 levels.
Both LAWLIFT and Word have levels. In this example, we see an articles of association in Word that follows the level structure and the same articles of association in LAWLIFT: The headings (e.g. § 1 Articles of Association, I. Legal form, name, location) are the headings on the levels 1 and 2, and the paragraphs (e.g. 2. The company name is) are the paragraphs on the third level.
By indenting and outdenting the individual elements, you can determine the levels yourself. You will find the option to indent and outdent in the formatting bar in LAWLIFT.
It should be noted that paragraphs are ALWAYS one level behind the visible heading, i.e. if the heading is on level 1, the paragraph can occupy level 2 at most).
In case the template contains only hidden headings, the paragraph will be on level 1 by default.
In case the template contains visible and hidden headings, the level of the paragraph depends on whether there is a visible heading above the paragraph. In this case, the paragraph will be on level 2 at most. Is there no visible heading above the paragraph, the paragraph will be on level 1 by default.
In LAWLIFT, the vertical thin grey lines on the side indicate the level on which the element is located. When you start counting, you must always count the first heading as 1 if it is not indented.
