A number of video games, mostly [[role-playing video games]], use a chapter division very similar to books.

The article would benefit by also mentioning or defining the terms subchapter, section, and asterism. In particular, is "section" a technical term or fixed to any degree in the field of publishing? — Hippietrail 18:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- I assume that by asterism you are referring to asterism (typography)? This would be preferable than asterism which is a disambig page. For any new editors, typing [[asterism (typography)|asterism]] will link to the correct asterism page, without reading awkwardly.Paddles 14:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Length
Are all chapters in a certain book meant to be of approximatly the same length, or can some be longer or shorter than others by a few pages? Lady BlahDeBlah 22:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I've read books that only had 20+ page chapters, like Potter, and books with a few very short chapters, like in Hitchhiker's Guide. --JohanTenge - /spit
Why chapters?
I would like to know two related things concerning chapters:
How did they arise, historically?
What purposes do they serve in a novel?

- I actually searched for "chapter" looking to learn those sorts of facts, because I don't know where else to look. Does anyone else?
video games
A number of video games, mostly role-playing video games, use a chapter division very similar to books. I'm wondering because of their similarity should this article be moved and expanded or should a seperate article for video games be created?陣内Jinnai 22:14, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Examples
Should there be examples of what a chapter title looks like on a page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.150.251.124 (talk) 07:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
