LaTeX provides 7 levels of sectioning: \part
, \chapter
, \section
, \subsection
, \subsubsection
, \paragraph
, and \subparagraph
. \chapter
is only available in book-type classes (e.g. book
, amsbook
, and report
), and \part
isn't available in the letter
class.
Each command also has a starred version, e.g. \section*{
…}
, which produces an unnumbered section. You can also set a short title for headers and the table of contents with \section[Short Title]{Much Longer Full Title}
.
