 A more detailed explanation of items and fragments can be found in the [http://ark.lparchaeology.com/about about] section of the website. Items are effectively key records. These are the records that the end users will recognise as a 'record'. Items are effectively just an index system, the data that make up the record is contained in fragments that are attached to the items in many ways. Fragments are therefore, in effect, the atomic particles of ARK, they are the smallest unit of data that the system can handle. Fields are a way of describing each fragment within ARK. This differs slightly from the normal database use of the term. In ARK the field is more like a unit of settings which describe the data that may be contained within the field. These data are fragments.
-===Validation Rules===
+====Validation Rules====
 Validation rules are the things which make up one of the main components of a field. These could be described as the sub-atomic particles of an ARK fragment, although in fact, they refer to the field not the fragments.
@@ Line 42: / Line 42: @@
 The main exception to this rule is in the case of a custom validation for particular fields as used within a module and especially when we want to force a var to a certain manual value. This can be accomplished by using in-line syntax as documented within the mod_settings files.
-===Fields===
+====Fields====
 Fields are made up of settings directives which typically include validation rules. Fields describe fragments and the way they are handled by the system.
