Sectioning

$\bullet$

A large document can consist of several levels of subunits:

• \chapter, \section, \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph, \subparagraph.

A new unit is started by inserting the appropriate command with the name of the unit as argument.

$\triangleright$

The name of the unit is used in several places:

• at the beginning of the section as a header
• as a page header
• in the table of contents

$\bullet$

The documentclass article is used for smaller documents. It doesn't allow the use of \chapter.

$\bullet$

The command \tableofcontents generates a table of content at the given position, using the headers of the subunits.

$\triangleright$

Since the information may not be complete at the time the \tableofcontents is read, one has to repeat the L^ATEX translation step.
