Do you make two or more different paragraphs, subdivisions or sections of a statute in the table of authorities separately or how do you go about it?

Question

Say you want to list 3 sections of the same statute in the table of authorities in your pleading including §123 and §124 as well as §125(a) and §125(b); will you list them each or will you list one only or what combination and why?

Primarily interested under California Style Manual 4th Edition, but if you have any insight for Bluebook, please share, too!

I don't have my Bluebook anymore, but the way I remember learning it is to list each section as an individual entry, but not subsections. So your TOA would look like this:

§123
§124
§125

As far as I know, the California manual doesn't address tables of authorities.

Do you make two or more different paragraphs, subdivisions or sections of a statute in the table of authorities separately or how do you go about it?
