The chapter headers are usually going like that:
ONE

It Begins
while in the ToC something like that is put:
Chapter one. It Begins
HTML hierarchic headers are useless here.
No. That's your opinion, which you are holding to suit your idea that it's fine to use divs for body content and p for headings. It's inaccurate. You're basing that on novels, not "all books." I have PLENTY of books that use a hierarchy. Headings, subheads and so forth. The reason I'm so painfully aware of how many of these we do, is due to K4PC's limited ability to display multi-dimensional TOCs.

I mean, really--for those who have visual difficulties, why is it such skin off of anyone's nose, to use p for paragraphs (shocking idea, I know) and headings for, well, headings? How can one possibly be so much simpler than another, or is this just one of those "I feel like I should be arbitrary for the bloody sake of it" things? Gonna "stick it to the man," by using divs for ps and ps for headings???????

I mean, WHY?
