Overview of front matter

"Front Matter" includes everything before "Chapter 1," except for pages that have their own topics: Title page, Table of Contents, and Table of Illustrations. Treat each part of the Front Matter as a new Major Division: put 4 blank lines just above them.

Why: In a printed book, these "Major Divisions" start on new pages: Titles, dedications, Copyright notices, etc. We mark these divisions by preceding them with 4 blank lines. Format an Introduction or Preface like a Chapter, and use no-wrap around almost everything else. AND REMEMBER TO DO THE IN-LINE FORMATTING! That's most important of all.
