Chapter 2 – Of the Making of (Many) Books

I’ve set up this page just so you can see what options there are for adding interest to your chapters, should you so wish. I don’t imagine that you would ever have more than 2 or 3 of these within an article but it’s good to know what’s possible.

Large Subtitles are Possible

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec sed arcu quis dui congue ultrices. Suspendisse porta sapien sed rutrum interdum. Donec id leo vulputate, aliquam tortor sed, luctus nunc. Proin elit dolor, convallis eget purus eu, semper aliquet ante. Proin efficitur dignissim ex, eget vulputate augue ornare at. Mauris at eros aliquam, iaculis tellus at, ultricies nisi. Sed vitae placerat nisi. Quisque non lectus eu metus ultrices elementum. Sed imperdiet consequat nisi, et consectetur dui.

And Smaller Subtitles are are also possible

This is how a drop-cap intro could work This is a questiLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec sed arcu quis dui congue ultrices. Suspendisse porta sapien sed rutrum interdum. Donec id leo vulputate, aliquam tortor sed, luctus nunc. Proin elit dolor, convallis eget purus eu, semper aliquet ante. Proin efficitur dignissim ex, eget vulputate augue ornare at. Mauris at eros aliquam, iaculis tellus at, ultricies nisi. Sed vitae placerat nisi. Quisque non lectus eu metus ultrices elementum. Sed imperdiet consequat nisi, et consectetur dui.

We can highlight a block of text

There are also a number of ways we can put quotes into the text

A quote with a bar at the side

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein

Or a Large Quote

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.
Bernard M. Baruch

Or a centred one

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein

Or a large quote can be left aligned

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.
William W. Purkey

We can also put quotes within the body of the text

Pellentesque euismod, lorem vitae congue interdum, tortor velit imperdiet dui, at aliquam dolor elit quis ante. Mauris sit amet fermentum tellus. Nunc a augue elementum, ultricies mi eu, mattis tortor. Vestibulum ultrices, erat vitae maximus gravida, nisi purus viverra enim, sed lacinia diam turpis ut lorem.

I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.
Oscar Wilde

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam ex libero, faucibus id volutpat quis, varius sit amet dui. Nulla leo magna, hendrerit sollicitudin quam id, euismod aliquam leo. Cras semper mi ac velit sodales, at luctus enim lacinia. In in varius nulla. Aliquam tincidunt odio et lacinia sollicitudin. Aenean et tellus eu ipsum aliquam dapibus. Nunc ac interdum orci, sed eleifend nunc. Integer eget purus vitae lorem lobortis blandit eu in leo. Fusce ornare mauris leo, ac imperdiet ipsum euismod in. In eget elementum risus. Pellentesque eget diam dolor. Cras ac nulla est.

If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
J.K. Rowling

In quis diam maximus, tincidunt nibh sit amet, pellentesque magna. Duis eget iaculis nisi. Vestibulum dictum dapibus metus vitae varius. Donec dictum consectetur est, eget suscipit quam. Vivamus arcu massa, commodo et ex pharetra, sagittis ultricies enim. Phasellus vel ex id libero porta faucibus non a eros. In in lacus dolor. Maecenas eu sagittis lectus. Maecenas lobortis turpis suscipit urna porta luctus. Curabitur enim ipsum, convallis vitae vestibulum sed, rhoncus sed urna. Aliquam semper vitae augue et ultricies. Duis luctus dapibus euismod.

As you would expect images can also be added

And the images can have a caption if required

One last way of highlighting text

Introduction. Pellentesque euismod, lorem vitae congue interdum, tortor velit imperdiet dui, at aliquam dolor elit quis ante. Mauris sit amet fermentum tellus. Nunc a augue elementum, ultricies mi eu, mattis tortor. Vestibulum ultrices, erat vitae maximus gravida, nisi purus viverra enim, sed lacinia diam turpis ut lorem.

The swallow of summer, she toils all the summer,
A blue-dark knot of glittering voltage,
A whiplash swimmer, a fish of the air.
But the serpent of cars that crawls through the dust
In shimmering exhaust
Searching to slake
Its fever in ocean
Will play and be idle or else it will bust.

The swallow of summer, the barbed harpoon,
She flings from the furnace, a rainbow of purples,
Dips her glow in the pond and is perfect.
But the serpent of cars that collapsed on the beach
Disgorges its organs
A scamper of colours
Which roll like tomatoes
Nude as tomatoes
With sand in their creases
To cringe in the sparkle of rollers and screech.
