# ClauseBuddy layout structure

ClauseBuddy (and Clause9) offers a refined layout structure, that is probably be much more flexible than your house style in some areas.&#x20;

Essentially, the ClauseBuddy layout structure is subdivided into nine different **levels**. On each level, you can encounter a **title** style (typically bold and/or coloured), a **heading** style and up to nine different **body** styles. Each title and heading can have a **number**, while each body paragraph can optionally have a bullet. Finally, there is also a separate style for the **title of the (sub)document** itself.

ClauseBuddy's Word style structure thus look as follows:

Note that the set of nine body styles is used below each of the title/heading styles, although the indentation can differ. The underlying idea is to have a consistent approach towards bullets, so that if (for example) the first level of bullets is a filled circle and the second level of bullets is (a) (b) (c), those two types of bullets are always used in such way, whether below top-level titles/headings, or instead sub-sub-sub titles.  Example:

{% hint style="info" %}
Clauses prepared in **ClauseBuddy** itself can only have one title (i.e. the optional title assigned to it in the designated editor area, when the clause is being edited in ClauseBuddy). However, clauses and Q\&As that were prepared in **Clause9** can have titles in any of the nine levels.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.clausebuddy.com/quality-library/how/in-depth/custom-styling/clausebuddy-layout-structure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
