|

|

**Header Level 1**
|

**Header Level 1: Partition**
|

This header level signifies that the text refers to a top level partition. This is useful when

you want to split the manuscript up into books, parts, or acts. These headings are not required.

The novel title itself should use the special header level one code explained in

:ref:`a_fmt_head`.

**Header Level 2**
|

**Header Level 2: Chapter**

This header level signifies a chapter level partition. Each time you want to start a new

chapter, you must add such a heading. If you choose to split your manuscript up into one

**Header Level 3: Scene**

**Header Level 4**
|

**Header Level 4: Section**
|

This header level signifies a sub-scene level partition, usually called a "section" in the

documentation and the user interface. These can be useful if you want to change tag references

mid-scene, like if you change the point-of-view character. You are free to use sections as you

wish, and can filter them out of the final manuscript just like with scene titles.
