Consider a document structure like this:

# 1. First-Level-Heading

Some text to give an overview about what I want to tell in this chapter. In LaTeX, this heading would be produced using the `\section`-command.

**Heading-Without-Numbering** In LaTeX, this is produced using `\paragraph`. Here are some sentences, sometimes this text is longer and contains multiple paragraphs.

I wonder if this text still belongs to _Heading-Without-Numbering_ or if that heading only belongs to that _paragraph_, as the LaTeX command suggests. If it does, how can I end the scope of that heading? If it doesn't, how can I extend it? I'd like to keep the indentation.

## 1.1 Second-Level-Heading

Is it okay to have the _Heading-Without-Numbering_ at same level (2nd level) as this truly second-level heading (produced using the `\subsection`-command)? What if _Heading-Without-Numbering_ was numbered, i.e. _1.0.1 Heading-Without-Numbering_?

I hope my questions are clear. I'm computer scientist, so maybe I think too much like I was programming, as there the start and end of scope of classes, functions, loops, etc. has to be defined very well. I'm writing a scientific paper.
