Color Coding |

|
It is suggested that you highlight every section head a full column width in
pink. All of the subsection headings, that is the (a), (b), (c), etc., should be colored a
full column width with yellow. At this point the purpose of color coding becomes more
apparent when you realize an Arabic “1” in typeset looks exactly like the lower
case alpha letter (l), and it is obviously important to differentiate between them.
Another case is the lower case alpha (I) which is the same typeset as lower case roman
numeral (I). Obviously, color coding eliminates the possible confusion. The next step is to put a yellow dot on all of the Arabic numbers. We can now easily find the beginning of each subsection beginning with a lower case alpha by looking for the horizontal yellow lines. The Arabic number subparagraphs are easily located by the yellow dots. Generally speaking, color coding two levels below the section heading will be adequate. There are some sections, such as 94, Ventilation, and 106, Flammable and Combustible Liquids, where you may want to inject a third color code for the lower case roman. |
