Orach Chayim Siman 567 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 3 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 a turn toward a more precise resolution. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

Original text
<b>טעימה ורחיצת הפה שמותר בתענית. ובו ג סעיפים:</b><br>השרוי בתענית יכול לטעום כדי רביעית ובלבד שיפלוט וביום הכפורים ובתשעה באב אסור: הגה ויש מחמירין בכל תענית צבור והכי נוהגין: (תוס' והגהות מיימוני פ"א ות"ה סימן קנ"ח):
One who is fasting can taste up to a revi'it, provided he spits it out. This is forbidden on Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av. Rem"a: There are those who are stringent on all public fasts, and this is the practice (Tosafot, Hagahot Maimoni chapter 1, Trumat Hadeshen siman 158).
יש אומרים שלא התירו רביעית בפעם אחת אלא מעט מעט ויש אומרים שאפילו בפעם אחת יכול לטעום עד כדי רביעית אם יודע בעצמו שיכול להעמיד עצמו שלא יבלע כלום:
There are those who say that a revi'it is only permitted bit by bit and not all at once. And there are those who say that one can taste a revi'it even all at once if he knows that he will be able to prevent himself from swallowing anything.
מי שדרכו לרחוץ פיו בשחרית בת"צ לא כשר למעבד הכי אבל בתעני' יחיד שרי כיון שפולט ואפי' יש במים שרוחץ יותר מרביעית: הגה ומותר ללעוס עצי קנמון ושאר בשמים ועץ מתוק ללחלח גרונו לפלוט מלבד ביוה"כ דאסור (מרדכי דתענית והגהות מיימוני פרק א'):
Somebody who is accustomed to washing his mouth in the morning of a public fast is not acting properly. However, on a private fast, this is permitted provided he spits it out, even if the water he is rinsing with is more than a revi'it. Rem"a: It is permitted to chew and spit out cinnamon, other spices, or sweet wood in order to moisten the throat, except for on Yom Kippur when this is forbidden (Mordechai on Ta'anit and Hagahot Maimoni chapter 1).
