% ==========================================================================
%
% The macros use the term `chapter' for what in the book is called
% a `section', `section' for the book's `subsection', etc.  For purposes of
% defining macros it's convenient to think of the book as divided into
% chapters, but because of the nonsequential nature of the book we don't
% want to tell the readers that they are reading chapters.
