The only differences were whitespace artifacts around hyperlinked section citations on public.law (e.g. \"Section 5105 .\"), not textual differences. The \"heading\" field is an editorial descriptive label written for this dataset; California Civil Code sections carry no official heading in the statutory text itself.",
