From Carrie:
Adding navigation to a book allows readers to jump to the chapters, find
sections
and parts easily, that sort of thing. The way we indicate parts, sections,
and chapters
is by the font size. The larger the font, the more important the line of
text. There's
a small section in the volunteer manual that gives some parameters:
4) Use these font sizes: For the:
20 point + BOLDING Book title
18 point + BOLDING Larger section
headings (such
as "Part I", or "Section 2")
16 point + BOLDING Headings for each
section in
the Front Matter, & Back Matter
16 point + BOLDING Chapter headings
14 point + BOLDING Chapter subheadings
12 point Text in the
body of
the book

Since the standard font size is 12 point, then, unless the chapter has
subsections, its title can be in 14 point. As Madeleine mentioned here
not long ago, a two point differential is sufficient for the Daisy
converter. The chapter title need be in 16 point only if there are
headings within the chapter, and those headings should be in 14 point.

Hi all,
Folks, the operative words here *should* be what is consistent for the
DAISY converter! You *must* put chapters in larger headings font in
order for the DAISY converter to know that this is a heading, a DAISY
element! Madeleine's mention of putting chapter titles into 14 point font
is really confusing. they must be in 16 point or they will not be
recognized as a DAISY element.
I think this whole issue of the stars is getting everyone all out of
kilter! It all started when we were talking about chapter titles that
had just single numbers instead of having "chapter" with them. Then,
it's morphed into this whole crazy malarkiface about blank lines. The
blank lines are immaterial! You don't necessarily need them between
chapter titles and the accompanying text, but what you do need, what you
have to have, in fact, is the chapter titles in larger font! This is a
prerequisite for making a book into DAISY format. Please, let's not have
any confusion about chapter heading fonts!
Believe me folks, I've made DAISY books in the past, and these font
changes *must* be made in order for the DAISY converter to select the
text that indicates a new or different DAISY element!

In posting a response to Madeleine's explanation, along with my
question about do I understand then that if the chapter title is 16
point Bold and the text is 12 point regular, asterisks aren't
necessary, I forgot to ask what do members prefer? Given that the
space is deleted and the texts are squished together--asterisks or
nothing between chapter title and beginning of body. (Since in this
book I've begun with the asterisks, I 'll c ontinue,but I want to know
for he future. smile
