Hanging paragraphs vs. warm-up introduction #1771

@jensmaurer

Description

@jensmaurer

The ISO Directives, Part 2, require us to get rid of hanging paragraphs.

One sub-issue is that we sometimes have introductory warm-up sentences at the start of a clause or subclause. Occasionally, these are "note"s, making clear their non-normative character. On other occasions (e.g. [constraints.overview]), they are not. Sometimes those warm-up sentences are in a separate subclause "overview", sometimes they form "hanging paragraphs" (often together with normative material).

This issue serves as an anchor to discuss a uniform approach to dealing with these warm-up sentences. Ideas:

  • Always put warm-up descriptions into a separate "overview" section (helps avoiding hanging paragraphs).
  • Always make warm-up sentences a note.
  • Find a differing typographical convention.
  • Add warm-up overviews to subclauses which don't have them (yet).
