 Chapter Structuring
 *******************
 
   The "chapter structuring" commands divide a document into a hierarchy
 of chapters, sections, subsections, and subsubsections.  These commands
 generate large headings; they also provide information for the table of
 contents of a printed manual ( Generating a Table of Contents
 Contents.).
 
   The chapter structuring commands do not create an Info node structure,
 so normally you should put an `@node' command immediately before each
 chapter structuring command ( Nodes).  The only time you are
 likely to use the chapter structuring commands without using the node
 structuring commands is if you are writing a document that contains no
 cross references and will never be transformed into Info format.
 
   It is unlikely that you will ever write a Texinfo file that is
 intended only as an Info file and not as a printable document.  If you
 do, you might still use chapter structuring commands to create a
 heading at the top of each node--but you don't need to.
