Serialized content

Some periodicals contain serialized content, with a few chapters in each issue. In this example, "The Caxtons" is serialized, and each "PART" may contain several "Chapters", but they're only chapters of that serial, not chapters of the magazine. Treating such headings as major divisions based solely on the naming is a common error. Any headings within serialized articles are just section headings, preceded by two blank lines and followed by one blank line. The title of the article itself, however, is a major division. As with any major division, we precede it with four blank lines and follow with two blank lines.
