మూస:Chapter heading/doc

This template is for creating chapter headings (or titles) with some standard formatting. You may use either {{Chapter heading}} or the shorter {{ch}}.

Usage

Defaults

• Font size: 120% (equal to {{larger}})
• Text alignment: center
• Small caps: no
• Uppercase: yes
• Top margin: 2em
• Bottom margin: inherited

Uppercase?

Uppercase text, especially in headings, is generally a typographic/stylistic choice, not a statement of emphasis. It is therefore better to type titles in title case and use CSS (via {{uc}} or this template) to style it.

Basic template

This template is without the optional parameters.

{{ch|Content}}

This template includes all optional parameters, except for the extra CSS styling parameter. Note that you may need to delete unused parameters for the template to work correctly.
