Orach Chayim Siman 270 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 2 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.
What to track
Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.
Study lens
Look for Shabbat law and sacred time. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

Original text
<b>לומר משנת במה מדליקין. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>נוהגים לומר פרק במה מדליקין והספרדים אומרים אותו קודם תפלת ערבית והוא הנכון:
It is our custom to say the chapter במה מדליקין (from the Mishnah). The Sefaradim say it before Ma'ariv and this is the correct way.
יש שאין אומרים אותו ביו"ט שחל להיות בע"ש ויש שאין אומרים אותו בשבת של חנוכה: הגה ואין נוהגין כן בחנוכה ובשבת של ח"ה אין אומרים אותו (מנהגים) וכן בי"ט שחל להיות בשבת אין אומרים אותו (מהרי"ל הלכות סוכה):
There are those who do not say it on Yom Tov that falls on Erev Shabbat and there are those who do not say it on Shabbat of Chanukah. Rema: We do not act this way during Chanukah. On Shabbat Chol HaMoed we do not say it (customs). And also on Yom Tov that falls on Shabbat we do not say it (Mahari"l, Hilchos Sukkah)
