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.
The templates are in the process of being migrated to CSS. If you find a situation where the existing templates or classes do not support something please leave a note on the talk page so that the appropriate rules can be added to the relevant stylesheet.

[edit]If you need a split between what would be two (text) paragraphs at the same level in the text as opposed to a split between "paragraphs" then use {{parabr}} to insert the gap.
Higher level Templates
[edit]These pre-process certain options such as section numbering and apply certain levels of indentation.
s1. . .s5 being the numbering shown in the Statutory Instrument concerned.
The basic types of paragraph are created using:-
- {{uksi/paragraph/1|title|text|split|s1}} - Creates a level 1 "section"
- {{uksi/paragraph/2|title|text|split|s1|s2}} - Creates a level 2 "paragraph"
- {{uksi/paragraph/3|title|text|split|s1|s2|s3}} - Creates a level 3 "sub-paragraph"
- {{uksi/paragraph/4|title|text|split|s1|s2|s3|s4}} - Creates a level 4 block
- {{uksi/paragraph/5|title|text|split|s1|s2|s3|s4|s5}} - Creates a level 5 block
More complex types are:-
- {{uksi/paragraph/1-2|title|text|split|s1|s2}} - Creates a level 1 "section" which opens immediately into a level 2 "paragraph".
- {{uksi/paragraph/2-3|title|text|split|s1|s2|s3}} - Crates a level 2 "paragraph" which opens immediately into a level 3 "sub-paragraph".
