Does anyone have a primer on understanding the purpose behind the various font size changes and line spacing changes in the book version of the CCC?

For example, 209 has the lines of text closer together, while 208 doesn’t. What does this indicate?

Thanks.
 
As best I’ve been able to decipher, having read the whole thing a couple times, is that there is no significance to the change in font size - the editors were simply not paying attention to the final product.

There is definitely a significance between font sizes.

Please read section “Practical Directions For Using This Catechism” paragraphs 18-22, page 11. Paragraphs 20-21 specifically explains the use of small print.

Thanks for pointing this out. 911 doesn’t seem to fit this explanation, though, nor does 906 nor 970. 907 and 990, maybe.

Recognizing the difference in print size can be difficult at times.

CCC, 911, CCC, 970, and CCC, 990 are examples of CCC, 20-21, where the whole passage is in small print. The source for the small print material is in the footnotes.

In my opinion, the difficulty of recognizing the small print of CCC, 906 and 907 is because it follows the small print at the bottom
of CCC, 905.
