Chapters and Parts are often used to group sections. Sometimes a Chapter will contain Parts, and sometimes a Part will contain Chapters. Subparts serve the same function, but usually only have a number (or letter) and a heading. Crossheadings don't group sections and they never have a number; they are standalone 'headings' and are not preferred.
Enter Edit mode.
On one line, start a Chapter with CHAP <number> - <heading>.
The number and heading are both optional.
The heading should use , not ALL CAPS.
Use "space hyphen space" between the number and the heading.
Put the contents of the Chapter on the following lines, indented.
If the Chapter doesn't have a number, you should still use a hyphen before the heading – otherwise the heading will be recorded as the number in the XML.
