Headings
Each section should have a heading.  These should not be numbered.  First level headings should be set in bold in capitals, followed by one blank line and preceded by two blank lines.  Second level headings should be set in bold, not capitalised, followed by one blank line and preceded by one blank line.

Headers and Footers
