Texts are built in a data tree structure. To guide you through the structure, we'll slowly build a table of contents that represents the text.
To begin a text, start with your first page. This page contains all the metadata for your text. Learn more at Begin a Text.
Main Title <---- First page
Once you've created your first page, you can add sections to that first page by inserting addition pages. In the example below, we've inserted three pages ("Introduction," "Section A," and "Conclusion") into the "Main Title" page. Learn more at
Main Title
- Introduction <--- page inserted into "Main Title"
- Section A <--- page inserted into "Main Title"
- Conclusion <--- page inserted into "Main Title"
What happens if you want subsections on a certain page, say "Section A"? Just insert more pages under section A, in the same way you inserted Section A into the Main Title.
Main Title
- Introduction
- Section A
- Subsection 1A <--- page inserted into Section A
- Subsection 2A <— page inserted into Section A
- Conclusion
You can continue building your text this way indefinitely. This can give you complex structures, like the partial table of contents below from a real example. Remember: you can only have one main, top-level page.
