Oh ho! The question now is... was this introduced in the last week or two, or can I just not read? I've been more or less *living* on that page and in the PDF template substitution code and completely failed to notice the existence of _SECTION_ at all. ... but then given that I also overlooked odd_page and even_page I think I simply missed it.

Calibre is, as ever, the king of pre-emptive feature additions! and also of stunningly fast responses to questions

I needed to do a few regex substitutions on it (don't want the chapter number in there, if there is one) but that works very well, thank you!
