In a printed book, chapters usually start on a new page, as do title pages, dedications, tables of contents, index, and other "major divisions." Often, the heading area contains more than one part. Other materials within the heading area may include poetry, quotations, and/or chapter summaries. Everything in this area is assumed to be centered by default, so non-centered materials must be enclosed in no-wraps (poetry) or block quotes (pretty much everything else).
Before reviewing these examples, make sure you are familiar with the Chapter Headings section of the Formatting Guidelines.
