the product.
Text layout:
• First-order bulleted lists: Items on a bulleted list start
with a solid black dot and an indent.
– Second-order bulleted lists: If there is a further
listing of subitems, the second-order bulleted list is
used.
1 Legend: A legend explains the numbered contents of an
illustration, presented as a numbered list. Items in a
legend start with a number (with no dot) and an indent.
– Second-order legend: In some cases, the numbered
contents of an image represent more than just one
object. A second-order legend is then used.
1. Instruction steps: These indicate a chronological
sequence of instruction steps. The numbers of the
steps are in bold and are followed by a period. If a new
activity follows, the numbering starts again at “1.”
– Second-order instruction steps: In some cases, it is
necessary to divide up a step into a few substeps. A
sequence of second-order instruction steps is then
used.
