CHAPTER I

THE GEOGRAPHY OF ITALY
[blank line]
[blank line]
Italy, ribbed by the Apennines, girdled by the Alps and the sea,
juts out like a "long pier-head" from Europe towards the northern
coast of Africa. It includes two regions of widely differing physical
characteristics: the northern, continental; the southern, peninsular.

Book titles

Book Title is Major Division: 4 blank lines. Note that here, "A.D." is shown in normal upper-case, not in small-caps.

Chapter spacing

Use another 4 blank lines to mark actual Chapter, one line between the parts of the chapter heading, and, finally, 2 blank lines to mark start of text. (No discussion yet for this example)

Inline markup in chapter titles

The Formatting Guidelines say:

While chapter headings may appear to be bold or spaced out, 
these are usually the result of font or font size changes
and should not be marked.

Here, the title ("THE GEOGRAPHY OF ITALY") is not bold, not small-caps, just all upper-case.
