In french :
Section : Section (feminine)
Subsection : Sous section (fem.)
Subsubsection : Subdivision (I've never seen "Sous sous partie", but maybe)
(fem.)
Paragraph : Paragraphe (masc.)
Subparagraph : Alin�as (masc.)
Adjectives:
English | french | french | abreviation
| masculin | feminine | (masc. or fem.)
---------------------------------------------------
previous | Pr�cedent | pr�c�dente | Pr�c.
next | Suivant | suivante | Suiv.
up | sup�rieur | sup�rieure | Sup.
page : page (fem.)
The Detailed Node Listing : Liste d�taill�e des noeuds (fem.) ; it's word for
word
[table of contents : Table des mati�res (fem) ; better that above]
I have the same problem than in german. As 'page' is feminine, you says 'Page
suivante', but 'paragraphe suivant'. or 'Page pr�c�dente' and 'paragraphe
pr�c�dent'
(note that the adjective is after the noun in french)
The topic of "section; subsection; subsubsection; (sub)*section, etc" is a bit
a messy. I think we should have a look at LaTeX. It's very well done in it...
I would say :
7 levels: Partie (f), sous partie (f), chapitre (m), section (f), subdivision
(f), paragraphe (m), alin�as (m).
6: Partie, chapitre, section, subdivision, paragraphe, alin�as.
5: Partie, chapitre, section, subdivision, paragraphe.
4: Partie, chapitre, section, subdivision.
3: Chapitre, section, subdivision.
2: Chapitre, section.
1: Chapitre.
It's what *I* would say. The best solution is that one of the french speaker
look in the book "Les r�gles de typographie utilis�es par l'imprimerie
nationale", which is the bible for such problems. or search what "Afnor" (ISO
in France) says for it.
