# 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.
