8. First-order Headings
For example, “1. Introduction”, should be Times 12-
point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one
blank line before, and one blank line after. Use a period
(“.”) after the heading number, not a colon.

8.1. Second-order Headings

As in this heading, they should be Times 11-point
boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank
line before, and one after.

8.1.1. Third-order Headings. Third-order headings, as

in this paragraph, are discouraged. However, if you must
use them, use 10-point Times, boldface, initially
capitalized, flush left, preceded by one blank line,
followed by a period and your text on the same line.
