Why does an indentation of a section indent an "outer" section as well?
It doesn't. See the attached example. You'll have to rephrase your question if you are having a problem with Chapters/Sections.
I have a Section just showing a numbering and a title. Within this
section I have another Section and I want to indent this section. If I
set an indentation to this "inner" section, the outer section is
indented as well.
Here's what I intend to do:
1. Outer Section 1
1.1 Inner Section 1
1.2 Inner Section 2
1.3 Inner Section 3
2. Outer Section 2

A code sample would help. br, Bruno
