Sections are used to split publications into related groups of pages, e.g. Preface, Contents, Introduction, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. The main purpose is to assign different page numbering styles and section names to each section, control page numbering starts. This lets you delimit your publication logically by content type or subject matter.
Every document possesses at least one page. This initial page belongs to the first section.
Sections are numbered but can also be named so they can be referred to in page numbering. You can also specify the first page number in the sequence (this will appear on the first page of the publication). For example, Chapter Two of a long publication might be in a separate file and begin numbering with page 33.
