Hello again. You seem to be putting some great work in here. Take a look at A-level Computing and you may be able to find some info you can adapt or improve on. Keep at it. Pluke 12:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

How to number the Section Headings

There is no need to explicitly number the sections in the text. Let the wiki auto-number the sections. Otherwise, section numbers will appear twice in the Table of Contents. For example, when editing the text, do not enter ==2.5 section-name==. Instead, just enter ==section-name==.

By default it seems that section numbers are not displayed in the text. To display the section numbers in the text, log in and edit your preferences to enable "Auto-number headings" (Preferences > Misc)

Validation method checking is described as 'check digits, range checks, picture/format checks, and data type checks', however there is no description of each of these checks individually, which may be desirable to add at a later stage. (e.g. Range checks are used in numeric data so that the value entered falls into a certain range of values, data checks take place when data values are compared to an expected data type, etc.) The explanation of weighted and unweighted check digits can also be included.

This section may be referenced with Chapter 1.1.7 Testing which include what type of data are tested for (normal, abnormal, and extreme, and the explanation of these).
