- Use H2 to begin each front matter page, with the title wrapped in an ++inline comment++.
- Use H3 for left-aligned front matter content like an author biography or series information.
- Use H4 for centered front matter content like a copyright notice or dedication.
- On your book's title page, use H6 for the author's name (and series title, if appropriate), and use H5 for the book's title.
The end result will be a beautifully laid-out paperback ready for print on demand.
There is also an ebook version of this style, also called Gemmell Novel, on the Ulysses site. This article gives full information on the ebook style, and most of the details apply to this PDF export style too: https://mattgemmell.com/beautiful-ebook-novels-with-ulysses
