| << (Chapters/13A) | Library of Formatting Examples | (Sections/00A) >> |
Sections are minor divisions within chapters. Usually, they are not listed in the table of contents (but sometimes they are). Usually, they begin with a centered heading that is surrounded by additional white space. However, sometimes there's no separate heading, but an inline heading following white space; and sometimes not even that. These variations can make it difficult to distinguish between a new section and a thought break. Precede a section or a sub-section with two blank lines unless the project comments specify otherwise, or ask about sub-sections if they're not in the comments. If the section has a heading (most do), follow that heading with one blank line.
Before reviewing these examples, make sure you are familiar with the Section Headings section of the Formatting Guidelines.
