(hard) Create a manual title page.

<div rend="page-break-before: right">
<index index="toc" level1="Chapter 1 - Chapters, Sections and Other Major Divisions in a Text" />
<head rend="text-align: center">Chapter 1</head>
<head type="sub" rend="text-align: center">Chapters, Sections and Other Major Divisions in a Text</head>
<p>Instead of using various numbers of blank lines to specify whether something is a chapter break/section/etc., TEI uses
<div></div> markup to mark a section of text as a separate grouping. By nesting these <div> markups,
you can specify sections within chapters within parts ...</p>
<p>Note the "thought-break" below. You can control the way this renders with the rend attribute.</p>
<milestone unit="tb" rend="stars: 5" />
<p>In this case, we used 5 asterisks. You can also specify a blank line (default) or a horizontal rule of n% page
width.</p>
<div>
<index index="toc" />
<head rend="text-align: center">Sub-section to Chapter 1</head>
<p>By nesting this section inside the previous section, it will appear as a subsection of Chapter 1. Theoretically,
this nesting effect could go on into infinity. I think the farthest nesting I've run across in practice is about 4
deep.</p>
