The .DISPLAY LEVELS command allows you to specify the form that sequential numbering (or lettering) of section headers will take. You can control the form of individual numbers within a section number for a header (that is, those numbers preceding or following a dot). This command does not change any values; it affects only the way the values are displayed.(See also .HEADER LEVEL, .NUMBER LEVEL, and .STYLE HEADERS.)
