Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment KE-0040 (Modified: 2007-12-18) Agreed; the following changes will be made in Part 4, §2.18.66, page 1,772: chicago (Chicago Manual of Style) Specifies that the sequence shall consist of one or more occurrences of a single character s from the set listed below as defined in the Chicago Manual of Style . To determine the text that is displayed for any value, this sequence specifies a set of characters that represent positions 14 and then repeats those same characters using the logic defined below to construct all other values. The set of characters used by this numbering format for values 14 is U+002A,U+2020,U+2021, and U+00A7, respectively. For values greater than 4, the text displayed shall be constructed as follows: 1. Repeatedly subtract the size of the set (4) from the value until the result is equal to or less than the size of the set. 2. The remainder determines which character to use from the set above, and that character is repeated the number of times the size of the set was subtracted from the original value. [Example: The first nine items in this format are: *, , , ·, **, , , ··, ***. end example] [Example: *, , . end example] Similar Comments: BR-0034 , CL-0005 , CL-0132 , CO-0134 , CZ-0032 , DE-0075 , FR-0328 , GB-0281 , GR-0058 , IN-0043 , VE-0044
