Once again this list is confusing me. I'd probably be better off without it.
I thought that what the Daisy needed was a size difference of 2 points to
recognize elements.
I've been making the title 20, parts 16, chapters 14, and text 12.
It was my understanding that this would work well for the converter.
I don't use Daisy much myself, but I have checked some of my books, and
remember finding chapter headings with no problem.
Really, this list is supposed to help volunteers, not confuse the heck out
of us.
