Re: structuring chapters in a book.

[Jim Jones <han4yu3 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Not really - Each of the 37 ch would have its "Topic" and then just go into
the content section, without calling it anything.

Follow this with a named Discussion section.

The refs section would not need to have a title.

So the book would be:

Front matter, intro, 37 ch, glossary, index etc.

Each ch: Topic [A heading], content pages, Discussion [D heading],
discussion pages ...
