Ordinarily, hierarchal styles have no limit; however, these new parameters
allow you to set some. Here's an example.

The "Glossary MultiIndent style stops you from going beyond BANA's
prescribed limits. Even though you might try to take a glossary entry level
to the third or fourth level, DBT will ignore what you do and revert to the
preset limits. 

Here are the code parameters and the values for the Glossary MultiIndent
style.

hi L:V:R:I:J:K:M:N:O:P 
hi 1:5:0:2:0:0:2:3:5

l 1 sets the left margin to 1
v 5 sets the runover margin to 5
r 0 sets the right margin offset (none)
i 2 sets the increment for left margin two cells further with each level
change
j 0 increment for runover (none) 
k 0 increment for right margin offset (none)
m 2 upper limit on subsequent levels (From the second level on use the
following parameters
n 3 limit on left margin (Always keep the left margin at three)
o 5 limits on the runover (Always keep the runover at cell five)

Hierarchy command from the Dux Dox
[hiL:V:R:I:J:K:M:N:O:P] -- Initiate (or terminate) hierarchy. Sets the
current hierarchy level to 1, the left margin to L, the overflow (runover)
margin to V, and the right margin offset to R (defaulting to 1, 1 and 0
respectively). Also sets the characteristic increment for each of these
margins to I, J and K respectively. (The increments may be negative, and all
default to 0). This command determines the effect of subsequent [hlN]
commands, which declare a given hierarchy level and set the margins
correspondingly. Limits M, N, O and P may optionally be supplied, and if
they are they work as follows: M sets an upper limit on subsequent levels
that may be declared; that is, any higher value as a parameter to an [hlN]
command is treated as M. Likewise N, O and P set limits on the left and
runover margin sites and right margin indentation amount. In each of those
cases, if the increment is positive, the limit is an upper limit; otherwise
it is a lower limit. All limits that are supplied are imposed together; that
is, the more stringent limits will be observed. In all cases, a negative
limit value means "no limit," and all the values default to -1. E.g.
[hi1:5:0:2:2] sets up margin treatment for an outline where level 1 items
are to start at position 1 and run over to 5, and both of those margins move
up by 2 for each higher level.

I hope this helps you out, Rick

Subject: [duxuser] Setting Hierarchy with HI

I was looking through some of the styles in various Duxbury templates.  I
noticed that there are about 9 numbrs after the "HI" command in the English
American Textbook BANA template.  Usually, I've never seen more than 5
numbers and I think I'm beginning to understand what they do.  Can anyone
help with what the additional numbers do?

Thank.s.
