About my editing: My edits reflect my emphasis on the data rather than the appearance of the data—anyway, complex formatting is often lost across browsers when interpreting HTML. KISS is my guiding principle.

My work on legislation (following the UK model) goes like this:

Notes for the reader
-----
Chapter No.
Long title of Act. [Date of assent]
Preamble and enacting words
Sections (Section 1: Section Title)

etc.


e.g. Parliament Act 1911

Parliament Act 1911 c. 13 with amendments of the Parliament Act 1949.
-----
c. 13
An Act to make provision with respect to the powers of the House of Lords in relation to those of the House of Commons, and to limit the duration of Parliament. [August 18, 1911]
Whereas it is expedient that provision should be made for regulating the relations between the two Houses of Parliament:
...
Be it therefore enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
===Section 1: Powers of House of Lords as to Money Bills

etc.

Individual sections I tend to put === for headings; Officially defined "parts" which contain many sections I put == for headings.
