2 Main body – Parts
Books in Pressbooks are organized as “chapters” and ‘parts.” A “chapter” is a web page in which content is added. A “part” is a holding section for chapters.
The Pressbooks’ designation of “chapters” and “parts” may be confusing. We recommend that you use “parts” as chapters and “chapters” as sections within a chapter.
You can add, edit, reorganize and delete parts.
