Description
A step identifies a unit of action in a
      procedure. If a finer level of granularity is
      required for some steps, you can embed substeps in a
      step. Embedded substeps contain
      steps so that substeps can be nested to any
      depth.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. The steps are
        almost always numbered.
