Description

List of operations to be performed. Procedure may have a Title and TitleAbbrev, followed by block-oriented elements, such as paragraphs, followed by one or more Steps. A Step may have a SubSteps wrapper for Steps nested within it, and this nesting may continue indefinitely (contrast the methods of nesting lists and Sects). This construction is intended to maximize the reusability of subsections of Procedures. Procedure has common attributes.
