7.17.4.1 Paragraph.
This is the initial style for new documents. A section with the "Paragraph" style starts in Braille
with a new line and an indent of 2 spaces. Blank lines in print are ignored in Braille. The Paragraph
Style indicator is shown on the Braille display as $sp.
7.17.4.2 Heading.
A blank line is placed above and below a heading. Each new print line starts a new Braille line. A
blank line in a heading causes a blank line in Braille. Two or more blank lines in a heading cause
the style to revert to "Paragraph."
A heading is centered in Braille. A print line can produce more than one Braille line, so a centered
heading could fill the page width. This would destroy the centering effect, so lines longer than 90%
of the page width overflow onto the next line. The Heading indicator is shown on the Braille display
as $h.
7.17.4.3 Sub-heading.
This style starts in Braille with a new line and an indent of 4 spaces. A sub-heading may contain
more than one line, but a single blank line terminates the style and reverts to "Paragraph" style.
The Sub-heading indicator is shown on the Braille display as $h#n where n is the level of the
sub-heading. For example, the first level sub-heading would be indicated by $h#1, the second level
by $h#2 etc.
7.17.4.4 Outline.
This style is used for simple numbered lists or more complex outlines and produces a first line that
starts at the left margin, with the rest of the text indented. Blank lines in the text are suppressed in
Braille and two or more blank lines cause the style to revert to "Paragraph.” The Outline indicator
is shown on the Braille display as $ou.
