All chapters start with a top-level heading (H1) markup. Any headings within a chapter must be of a lower level (H2 to H6). Each chapter starts a new page or the next odd-numbered page if duplexing is selected.
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:

External URL links are fully supported for HTML and PDF output, and
internal links (#target
and filename.html
)
are supported in HTML and PDF output.
When generating PDF files, local PDF file links will be converted to external file links for the PDF viewer instead of URL links. That is, you can directly link to another local PDF file from your HTML document with:
<A HREF="filename.pdf">...</A>
