How do I create a section break in my book?

There are three ways to create a section break:

1. You can create a regular section break, usually denoted with an asterisk. To inject such a break, add the following code in the  TEXT editor:

<h3 class="section-break">***</h3>

You can add whatever you like in the between the tags and it will appear in the output, so you might want to add, say:

<h3 class="section-break">~~~</h3> 

 

2. You can create a section break with a space with the following code: 

 

<h3 class="section-break-space">*</h3>

The "*" will not appear in the outputs, but it's a good idea to leave it there, for purposes of editing, and since it is always best not to have empty tags.

3. You can create a section break with a page break: 

<h3 class="section-break-page">*</h3>

4. You can create a section break with glyphs 

If you want to use an image for your section break, then you can do the following:

1. Add the image using the Media Uploader (see Adding Images)
2. Make sure the image is centered
3. Then make sure the image is wrapped in a centered image div, as follows:

<div class="centered-image"> <img alt="section-break" src="http://guide.pressbooks.com/files/2014/02/image.png" /> </div>

NOTE: you can also add glyphs using special "wingding" fonts, but we've seen instances where these are not rendered correctly on Kindles, resulting in a "glyph" turning into a "letter."
