ICUMSA Methods Book
Table of Contents with ID numbers
The main table of contents of the Methods book is sectioned by material headings, e.g. Raw Sugar Methods, White Sugar Methods etc. Materials were deleted from the method titles in these chapters, with exception of sub-materials ("Cane Raw Sugar", "Beet White Sugar" etc.). Italic fonts were used for sub-materials instead of methods with cross references. ID numbers were used instead of Full numbers. This page and its PDF version shall demonstrate an advantage of ID numbers for sorted tables.
