Headings

All headings should be title case (first letter of each word upper case) and use the built-in headings styles. To check if headings are styled properly, use the drop-down menu at the top of the chapter to see if they are listed.

All chapter navigation should be turned on, though the depth should be determined by the context.

Tables and Figures
