(1)
Related WPs. When there is a major difference of coverage for the same task,
related WPs shall be used to divide a WP into logical related tasks or functional
elements, e.g., configuration difference (effectivity), maintenance levels,
system/subsystem or system/assembly/ subassembly relationship and alternate
procedures, including the use of different support equipment.

WP division. If the WP will exceed reasonable size, see 3.2.4.1.1.1.
3.2.3.1 Paragraph division and headings (sideheads). Paragraphs are referred to as titled
and untitled paragraphs. Titled paragraphs are referred to as "sideheads", (primary sidehead,
secondary sidehead, tertiary sidehead, quaternary sidehead). Technical content shall contain one
or more primary paragraphs which shall be divided into subordinate paragraphs, as required.
Titled paragraphs shall have a brief title heading describing the content or action portrayed. All
sideheads shall appear in normal bold type.
a. Primary sideheads. Primary sideheads are used to divide the text into primary subjects.
There shall be at least two primary sideheads in each WP containing text. Primary
sideheads shall stand alone (not run in with text), shall appear in all capital letters, and
shall be underlined.
b. Secondary sideheads. Secondary sideheads are used to divide text where there are two or
more subjects covered under one primary sidehead. Secondary sideheads shall be run in
with text, shall appear in all capital letters, and shall not be underlined.
c. Tertiary sideheads. Tertiary sideheads are used to divide text where there are two or
more subjects covered under one secondary sidehead. Tertiary sideheads shall be run in
with text, shall appear in upper and lower case letters, and shall be underlined.
d. Quaternary sideheads. Quaternary sideheads are used to divide text where there are two
or more subjects covered under one tertiary sidehead. Quaternary sideheads shall be run
in with text, shall appear in upper and lower case letters, and shall not be underlined.
e. Untitled paragraphs. Untitled paragraphs are used to divide text that does not warrant the
assignment of sideheads.
3.2.3.1.1 Procedural steps. The contents of a paragraph may be divided into procedural
steps. Lead-in sentences are not required when the paragraph title is self-explanatory. Procedural
steps are normally used to present step-by-step procedures, such as testing, disassembly,
alignment, and removal procedures. Procedural steps may also be used to establish the
relationship of text or sequential operation. Procedural steps may be divided into subordinate
steps.
