<p>There are <em>a lot</em> of macros that can be used in the same way as <code>section</code>, one for each element commonly used in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_design">book design</a>.</p>
<p>The following table lists the identifiers of all section-like macros, divided according to the part of the book they should be placed in:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Frontmatter</th>
<td>
<p><code>imprint</code> <sup>†</sup>, <code>dedication</code> <sup>†</sup>, <code>inspiration</code> <sup>†</sup>, <code>foreword</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>introduction</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>acknowledgement</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>prologue</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>toc</code> <sup>*</sup></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Bodymatter</th>
<td>
<p><code>volume</code>, <code>book</code>, <code>part</code>, <code>chapter</code></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Backmatter</th>
<td>
<p><code>epilogue</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>afterword</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>postscript</code> <sup>†</sup>, <code>appendix</code>, <code>addendum</code> <sup>‡</sup>, <code>glossary</code> <sup>**‡</sup>, <code>colophon</code> <sup>†</sup>, <code>bibliography</code> <sup>**‡</sup>, <code>promotion</code> <sup>†</sup>, <code>references</code> <sup>**‡</sup>, <code>index</code> <sup>**‡</sup>, <code>lot</code> <sup>**‡</sup>, <code>lof</code> <sup>**‡</sup></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<strong>*</strong>: The <a href="/glyph/book/macros/macros_structure.html#m_toc"><code>toc</code></a> macro is used to generate the Table of Contents automatically, and it takes no parameters.
</p>
<p>
<strong>**</strong>: This macro is likely to be extended in future versions to generate/aggregate content automatically.
</p>
<p>
<strong>†</strong>: This section is not listed in the Table of Contents.
</p>
<p>
<strong>‡</strong>: Any subsection of this section is not listed in the Table of Contents.
</p>
<aside class="note">
<span class="note-title">Note</span><code>frontmatter</code>, <code>bodymatter</code> and <code>backmatter</code> are also macro identifiers, but they are also exposed as attributes for the <a href="/glyph/book/macros/macros_structure.html#m_book"><code>book</code></a> macro and the <a href="/glyph/book/macros/macros_structure.html#m_article"><code>article</code></a> macro, so if you're using either of these two macros as your root macro for your document, there's no need to use them explicitly.
