First Level Paragraph Numbering

Due to the granular nature of S1000D, it is sometimes necessary to include multiple Data Modules in a single sub-section.

Where multiple Data Modules are used, the first level of paragraph numbering will continue in sequence with the next Data Module. This numbering sequence does not restart until a new sub-section begins.

Emergency procedures with a descriptive section will also follow the first level numbering sequence rule.
