Write the command at the beginning of a line and follow it on the same line by the title of the chapter. The chapter is numbered automatically, starting from 1. </p> <p>For example, the present chapter in this manual is entitled “<code>@chapter</code>: Chapter Structuring”; the <code>@chapter</code> line looks like this: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@chapter @code{@@chapter}: Chapter Structuring </pre></div> <p>In TeX, the <code>@chapter</code> command produces a chapter heading in the document. </p> <p>In Info and plain text output, the <code>@chapter</code> command causes the title to appear on a line by itself, with a line of asterisks inserted underneath. So, the above example produces the following output: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">5 Chapter Structuring ********************* </pre></div> <p>In HTML, the <code>@chapter</code> command produces an <code><h2></code>-level header by default (controlled by the <code>CHAPTER_HEADER_LEVEL</code> customization variable, see <a href="Other-Customization-Variables.html">Other Customization Variables</a>). </p> <p>In the XML and DocBook output, a <code><chapter></code> element is produced that includes all the following sections, up to the next chapter. </p> </div> </body> </html>
