# p.title.section

## Syntax

**p.title.section**

## Purpose

This annotation creates a new section with a title. This annotation once took an argument for nesting level, so you may see older rules with an argument in parentheses. The argument is no longer used, but you don't have to change existing rules; the level in parentheses will be ignored so long as you don't have to edit the rule. If you do need to edit the rule, remove the parentheses and the number and save.

You may have a short topic like the following:
