What is the name of the text that might exist after the chapter heading and before the first section? In manuscripts, a text between the chapter heading and before the first section might exist. Does this have a name?
This seems to be a good community to know the answer.
Thanks in advance.
Text between the chapter title and the first section heading is usually called the &quot;lead paragraph&quot; or &quot;lede&quot;. Despite the name, this can be one ore more paragraphs of text.
