public class Chapter
extends Section

A Chapter is a special Section.

A chapter number has to be created using a Paragraph as title and an int as chapter number. The chapter number is shown by default. If you don't want to see the chapter number, you have to set the numberdepth to 0.

Example:

 Paragraph title2 = new Paragraph("This is Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 18, Font.BOLDITALIC, new Color(0, 0, 255)));
 Chapter chapter2 = new Chapter(title2, 2);
 chapter2.setNumberDepth(0);
 Paragraph someText = new Paragraph("This is some text");
 chapter2.add(someText);
 Paragraph title21 = new Paragraph("This is Section 1 in Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 16, Font.BOLD, new Color(255, 0, 0)));
 Section section1 = chapter2.addSection(title21);
 Paragraph someSectionText = new Paragraph("This is some silly paragraph in a chapter and/or section. It contains some text to test the functionality of Chapters and Section.");
 section1.add(someSectionText);
