More Than One Sentence in a Section or Subsection

A section or subsection should normally consist of a single sentence. However, more than one sentence may be used when

(a) the additional sentence is subordinate to the first or otherwise deals with the same idea;

(b) making it into a separate subsection would put undue emphasis on it; and

(c) the section or subsection does not become too long.
