Marcus,

To add new sub chapter:

  • After the first chapter is created, make sure editing is on and click on the plus after the Chapter title in the Table of contents to get the add new chapter.
TOC of Book
  • Click in the check box next to Subchapter right under the title window for the new chapter.  book creation/edit page
  • Add the information in the Content window.
  • Save this new chapter.  This will create a subchapter that will be connected to the previous chapter.  
    • HINT: if you need to create several subchapters under the same chapter, you can click on the plus on the previous subchapter. This will bring up the book chapter creation/edit page with the subchapter already checked, so you don't have to remember each time.

If you forgot to check the subchapter box:

  • Just move this chapter right under the chapter which will be the parent chapter
  • Click on the edit symbol next to the chapter you want to become the subchapter.
  • When the chapter edit page comes up, check the box next to the subchapter and save. This should put it under the parent chapter as a subchapter. 

There are only these two levels to the book module.  You cannot have subchapters of subchapters.  

Here is more info, including importing chapters from HTML files that might help you if you have a lot of books to create.

Hope this helps.
