RE: Re: any reason why a "procedure" is not a child of "para"?


Nested procedures, procedures inside of tables, etc. would be messy--not
sure how you'd number them. <substeps> allows you to nest procedures
without that problem. I think no procedures in paras is a good thing.

I don't recall consciously deciding to exclude it. File an RFE, I guess.
