I've been putting the chapter titles two or
three--maybe 4 line spaces down, and then another 2
space before the text begins. Also, I put it in a
different font, perhaps bold or ital or all caps or
alarger font, depending on what it is in the book. And
I've been centering it rather than putting it flush
left, if that's where it is in the book.
I don't know if this has worked or not. Some I've done
recently are Cloud Atlas, First Knight, Strong
Poison, The Giver, The Messenger, in case you want to
check. I'd be interested in knowing the chapter titles
are there. If so, then I'm going to assume that the
scanner or validator just isn't putting them in. I
eliminate headers manually or with a replace with
nothing; that doesn't affect the chapter titles.
