Description: A chapter of a book. It's always included into the TOC (i.e., there is no star'ed version). In <aphorism> you can let a nice witty quote by a famous person being printed above the chapter beginning.

kind marks special chapters that are not included into the TOC. A "preface" chapter is printed before the TOC; so far, there is no difference between "acknowledgements" and "colophon" yet.
