Hi all,
Original message:
Hi,
Is there a difference between the two and can someone please explain. I feel
really silly about this one.
Laurie, there's no need to feel silly about asking a question about
print formatting. Many of us who have been born blind or who have lost
our sight at a young age have no idea how a printed book is formatted.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but a section break is a spot in
the text of a book between chapters or sections of the text. It may be
indicated by a blank page and then a new page starting, or it may be
indicated by a line across the page. These mark the text because of
the way it's written.
A page break is just that. Every time a new page is started, there is
an indicator in the text called a page preak. Most of the time, a page
break will be a "soft" page break, much like a carriage return, placed
in the text when a certain number of characters has been reached. A
hard page break is inserted by an author/publisher to indicate that the
text should start on the top of a new page. These hard page breaks
occur most often when a section of text is completes, e.g. a new
chapter begins.
HTH,
Ann P.
