Hi Doug,

Please make the chapter numbers bold and font size 14 or 16. This is a signal 
to 
the converter that those lines are the start of a new chapters, so it will add 
navigation to them. Then readers can jump to the various chapters, as needed.

Thanks! Carrie

Hi Doug,

There are the occasional instances in which the conversion tools do not
recognize only a number as a heading.  Because of this, I insert the word
Chapter before the number.  When this is done, the tools don't get confused.

Just my experience, and my practise.

Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] chapter headings with only numbers

I just finished proofreading a book where each chapter simply begins with
the number of the chapter, but that is no chapter title.

I know that this topic has come up several times before and I'm not sure
where the discussion ended up. There were some people who said you could put
the word Chapter before the number, others have said if you did this you put
brackets around the word Chapter. And then other people still say we should
not add anything.

The single number makes it more difficult to easily spot new chapters if you
are not using DAISY navigation.

Thanks,
-- Doug
