Splitting into parts

Chaptering is the process of dividing content into chapters or adding chapter markers.

In video and audio production, chaptering means inserting navigation points that let viewers skip to specific sections: The DVD's chaptering made it easy to find favorite scenes.

In publishing, it refers to organizing a manuscript into discrete chapters.
