Reformat chapters

We are used to dividing books into chapters because of the length of their content. Furthermore, we are used to starting each chapter on a new page. When you typeset a book with a deeper chapter hierarchy, you can decide whether subchapters and subsubchapters should also start on new pages.

In the next screen shot you see that the body text of our book already contains headlines, the text cursor being placed exactly in front of the headline of the 4th chapter (Switchers).

We need this headline and the following text to start on a new page. Please do a [Control]-click to open the text edit mode context menu. There you find the menu item Insert text break. We are interested in its third sub item: Container break. Click on this sub menu item. This will cause your document to be reformatted – the 4th chapter will now start on a new page.

Hint: If you ask yourself why we didn't name this function Page break, Frame end or something similar, try and insert such a break in a text frame with multiple columns. A text frame can use multiple text columns, and we refer to each text column as a container. If your book only uses one text column per frame, this exception illustrates the point.
