How to Recognize The Documentation That You Wrote Has Gone Too Deply Nested?

One of the way to recognize that you have gone too far "nesting" your documentation section. For example, if you have gone to make section v.w.x.y, that means you're now four levels deep. Four levels are already too deep because human brain are not naturally able to remember something with "nesting-level" more than that.

When your nesting has gone too deep, consider creating a new "chapter" and provide a smooth transition into that new "chapter". That way, people will understand what your're trying to say. Monstrous "chapter" is not good or it's better to say that it's a bad writing habit.

Be aware of it next tome you write documentation
