I personally would not like to have new names for these subheadings, as I have enough difficulty remembering when to use paragraph. (Lamport mentions that paragraph is an `unfortunate' name but it is used for `historical reasons') The only memorable system seems to be prepending `sub' to the previous head, so I would go for: 1 chapter 2 section 3 subsection 4 subsubsection 5 subsubsubsection (aliased to paragraph) .. n {sub}{n-2}section or alternatively switch to paragraph as now but then just carry on with {sub}{n-5}paragraph David You asked for a ruling, by which I assume you mean a response from Frank or Rainer! This is not a ruling, just an opinion.
