(edition) by the significance. Thus, the first stage is the main elements (chapters),
the second - the units (chapters), the third - the paragraphs (paragraphs), etc. As the

rubrication is determined by the composition of the work, the editorial analysis of
the system of headings is closely related to the analysis of the composition.

The rubrication or its absence depends on a number of factors. First, on the
volume and structure of the text. Typically, small by volume texts are not broke

into the headings. Secondly, the type of publication and its purpose. For example,

delineation of rubric is used in reference and educational publications. Third, the

reader's readiness, the culture of his perception of the text. Fourthly, the

complexity of the text.

Consequently, the editor in each case must decide the issue of the

appropriateness of this, and not another heading. There are two tasks in the

analysis of heading before the editor:

1) to establish the optimal number of steps in the headings in the work;

2) determine the interdependence of the headings. If the number of steps in

the headings does not correspond to the nature of the work, then the editor resorted

to techniques for reducing the number of degrees of the headings or the methods of

increasing it.

In order to reduce the number of steps in the headings:

1) remove the unifying heading;

2) refuse from unifying headings, or from the headings subordinate to them.

Conversely, to increase the number of degrees of headings:

- combine a number of headings with additional headings of the highest

degree;

- enter a new, lower order degree of the headings.

Following the subordination of the headings to each other, the editor sets

out:

1) whether all the columns, which are united in one degree, are equivalent to

each other;
