Once again this list is confusing me. I'd probably be better off without it. I thought that what the Daisy needed was a size difference of 2 points to recognize elements. I've been making the title 20, parts 16, chapters 14, and text 12. It was my understanding that this would work well for the converter. I don't use Daisy much myself, but I have checked some of my books, and remember finding chapter headings with no problem. Really, this list is supposed to help volunteers, not confuse the heck out of us.
