Example of Loi with Amendments and several points in time:  Loi Portant Code de la Nationalité Ivoirienne, 1961 <https://edit.laws.africa/works/akn/ci/act/1961/415/>

The word **(nouveau)** is added in brackets to the article after the number to indicate that an entire article was substituted.&#x20;

The annotation is placed below the article number and above the text.
