HTMLDOC 1.8.28 Software Users Manual

Headings

Currently HTMLDOC supports a maximum of 1000 chapters (H1 headings). This limit can be increased by changing the MAX_CHAPTERS constant in the config.h file included with the source code.

All chapters start with a top-level heading (H1) markup. Any headings within a chapter must be of a lower level (H2 to H15). Each chapter starts a new page or the next odd-numbered page if duplexing is selected.

Note:

Heading levels 7 to 15 are not standard HTML and will not likely be recognized by most web browsers.

The headings you use within a chapter must start at level 2 (H2). If you skip levels the heading will be shown under the last level that was known. For example, if you use the following hierarchy of headings:

<H1>Chapter Heading</H1>
...
<H2>Section Heading 1</H2>
...
<H2>Section Heading 2</H2>
...
<H3>Sub-Section Heading 1</H3>
...
<H4>Sub-Sub-Section Heading 1</H4>
...
<H4>Sub-Sub-Section Heading 2</H4>
...
<H3>Sub-Section Heading 2</H3>
...
<H2>Section Heading 3</H2>
...
<H4>Sub-Sub-Section Heading 3</H4>
...

the table-of-contents that is generated will show:
