subchapters

Sections within sections

Subchapters are divisions within a chapter, used when material needs finer organization than chapters alone provide.

Legal codes frequently use them: Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code governs certain small business corporations.

Books occasionally divide chapters into numbered or titled subchapters rather than unmarked sections.
