subchapter

Part within part

A subchapter is a division within a chapter, used to break up longer material into more manageable sections.

The term appears most often in legal and regulatory contexts: Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code governs small business taxation.

In books, subchapters may be numbered or titled to organize content within chapters.
