Ann:  Here we go again.  What does the daisy need? If 12-point is the text,
would it not recognize a chapter heading at 14-point unless there is another
"title" in the same chapter? Fourteen point is larger than 12 point?

Hi all,

Folks, the operative words here *should* be what is consistent for the 
DAISY converter!  You *must* put chapters in larger headings font in 
order for the DAISY converter to know that this is a heading, a DAISY 
element!    Madeleine's mention of putting chapter titles into 14 point 
font is really confusing.  they must be in 16 point or they will not be 
recognized as a DAISY element.

I think this whole issue of the stars is getting everyone all out of 
kilter!  It all started when we were talking about chapter titles that 
had just single numbers instead of having "chapter" with them.  Then, 
it's morphed into this whole crazy malarkiface about blank lines.  The 
blank lines are immaterial!  You don't necessarily need them between 
chapter titles and the accompanying text, but what you do need, what 
you have to have, in fact, is the chapter titles in larger font!  This 
is a prerequisite for making a book into DAISY format.  Please, let's 
not have any confusion about chapter heading fonts!

Believe me folks, I've made DAISY books in the past, and these font 
changes *must* be made in order for the DAISY converter to select the 
text that indicates a new or different DAISY element!
