How to Customize Section Titles

Section title styling gives you full control over how your titles appear throughout your book. For chapter-number-only typography (Chapter 1, Chapter I, One), see numbered chapter settings.

Customizing Your Section Title

When you select a section title, its style panel opens. The panel has four tabs: Text, Colors, Underline, and Position & Spacing.

Text

  • Font. Choose the typeface for your title.
  • Size. Set the size in points.
  • Letter Spacing. Tighten or loosen the space between letters.
  • Weight. Set how heavy the text is, and whether it is italic.
  • Transform. Change the letter case: None, CAPS, lower, or Capitalize.

Colors

The Colors tab gives your title its own text color and a colored band behind it.

Turn on Enable Colors, then set:

  • Text Color. The color of the title text. Leave it on Inherit from Body to keep your normal text color.
  • Background Color. The color of the band behind the title. Leave it on Transparent for no band.
  • Width. Full Width stretches the band across the whole content width. Around Text shrinks the band to hug just the title, like a highlighter.
  • Spacing Around Text. The breathing room inside the band, between the title and the band’s edges.

Underline

Turn on Show Underline to add a decorative line under the title, then set:

  • Style. Choose Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
  • Thickness. Set the line’s thickness.
  • Width Mode. Text Width matches the line to the title text. Custom lets you set an exact Width as a percentage.
  • Distance from Text. The gap between the title and the line.

Position & Spacing

  • Alignment. Full control over how the title sits on the page.
  • Spacing around Title. The space on all four sides of the title. Link all four together, link them in pairs, or set each side on its own.

Using Presets

Save and reuse your title styles with presets, so every chapter stays consistent.
