For chapters, you could wrap each of them in a block (I think that's what HTML5 does), but it's enough to use <h1>Chapter Title</h1> at the beginning of each. Having each chapter in a separate file is a good idea too.

Do not use <h1>Chapter 4</h1><h2>The Swamp</h2>, unless "The Swamp" is a subsection of Chapter 4. If you want to style the chapter number and title differently, you can use something like <h1>Chapter 4<br/><span class="title">The Swamp</span></h1>.
Just to add a bit to what Jellby wrote. Once you get the span set to a class then in the CSS file you can specify how this should be displayed. So you could display this class in italics for example. If you decide on a different presentation then changing one entry in CSS will apply to all instances.

Not that the br/ used in the chapter is better than 2 sets of H1 tags together as well. Using only on H1 with br/ used for the second line will cause a two line display in the document and the TOC will show "Chapter 4 The Swamp" which is usually what you want.
