This is a wind-up, right? Or do people _really_ do this sort of
thing?
The structure of a document is (for me) indicated in its first stages
by the text, pure and simple, together with whatever fundamental
layout is defined for the class of document I'm writing. I find it
easier to concentrate on what I'm writing, that way.
As a final stage, I may tweak things with explicit layout
instructions, but *never* at the start. This process is called
"editing". I do quite a lot of that for things I've not myself
written, too ;-)
