By default, whenever you insert a section into a Bill, it will include an empty subsection by default. If you do not need a subsection, as the section hasn’t been sub-divided, you will need to promote the subsection into section content.

The same applies when you insert a regulation or article into an SI: it will include an empty paragraph by default. If you don’t need that paragraph as the regulation/article isn’t sub-divided, you can promote the paragraph into regulation/article content.

Note

Don’t try to achieve the same result by deleting the subsection number or the num element as that may cause problems with the presentation of the section or for users of the legislative data in future.

With your cursor in the subsection, right-click and select Promote Element...

Info
  • The promote action will only work if there is one subsection in your section

  • If you change your mind and want to sub-divide your section into subsections, click Enter to bring up the insert menu and select Subsection (1) which will insert a subsection after your section content, and at the same time convert your section content into a subsection.
