Template:Uksi/doc

Helper template to construct the anchoring and alignment of "paragraphs" in UK Statutory Instruments.

UK Statutory instruments consist of "Sections" (Sometimes called Regulations) typically  delinated by bold numbers. which may contain "Paragraphs" typically delinated by bracketed, numbers, which may further contain  "Sub-Paragraphs"  typically  delinated by bracketed letters.

The UKSI template family attempts to provide a systemic way to build these types of document, with a degree of format standardisation.
