:''"Section break" redirects here. For the term's use in overhead lines, see Overhead lines#Breaks''. In books and documents, a section is a subdivision, especially of a chapter. Sections are visually separated from each other with a section break, typically consisting of extra space between the sections, and sometimes also by a section heading for the latter section. They are a concern in the process of typography and pagination, where it may be desirable to have a page break follow a section break for the sake of aesthetics or readability. In fiction, sections often represent scenes, and accordingly the space separating them is sometimes also called a scene break. ==Section form and numbering== In written narrative such as fiction, sections are not usually numbered or named. Section breaks are used to signal various changes in a story, including changes in time, location, point-of-view character, mood, tone, emotion, and pace. As a fiction-writing mode, the section break can be considered a transition, similar to a chapter break. Some documents, especially legal documents, may have numbered sections. e.g. ''Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'', or ''Internal Revenue Code section 183''. The section sign (§) may be used to referenced sections and subsections. Subsections are often written in lowercase Roman numerals e.g. Section 51(xxvi) of the Australian Constitution. A document may also be considered to be divided into sections by its headings and subheadings, which may be used for a table of contents. For example, the hierarchical sections used in Wikipedia can be compiled into a table of contents for an article. Many books, however, only have chapter headings in the table of contents. While a chapter may be divided by section breaks, a group of chapters is conventionally divided by a "part", often with a Roman numeral, e.g. "Part II". Reference material may be divided into sections. For example, the section headers of a Chinese dictionary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Section (typography)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
