Depending on your writing style, you may need to separate between soft and hard scene breaks

In such cases you may want to use a scene heading for hard scene breaks and a section heading
for soft scene breaks. The :guilabel:`Build Manuscript` tool will let you add separate
formatting for the two when you generate your manuscript. You can for instance add the common
"``* * *``" for hard breaks and select to hide section breaks, which will just insert an empty
paragraph in their place. See :ref:`a_manuscript_settings` for more details.
Keep in mind that this is not what the section heading is intended for, so the app will not
understand the section heading as a scene, but it will be formatted correctly in the manuscript.
