Section (typography)
Subdivision of a chapter / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Section break" redirects here. For the term's use in overhead lines, see Overhead lines § Breaks.
In books and documents, a section is a subdivision, especially of a chapter.
Sections are visually separated from each other with a section break, typically consisting of extra space between the sections, and sometimes also by a section heading for the latter section. They are a concern in the process of typography and pagination, where it may be desirable to have a page break follow a section break for the sake of aesthetics or readability.
In fiction, sections often represent scenes, and accordingly the space separating them is sometimes also called a scene break.
