Moving and adding chapters in "book"

JETkoten
Hi,

I'm working with the built-in book in Pier to put together an outline of
an online book. Great software, one of the best online book formats I've
seen.

My problem is, the only way I can find to make a new chapter after
trying for about an hour is to copy "1 Introduction". When I do this,
the copied chapters go down below the Keywords Index in the Table of
Contents, thus spoiling the layout in my opinion.

So now it's:

1         Introduction
1.1          Section
           Keyword index
2         Intro-2
2.1         Section 2
[...]

How can I move the Keywords Index down the list to be the final item in
Table of Contents please?

I want:

1         Introduction
1.1          Section
2         Intro-2
2.1         Section 2
3
3.1
4
4.1
5
5.1
6
6.1
7
[...]
           Keyword index

Also, is there a better way to make new chapters than to just keep
copying? I couldn't find any kind of page (while doing Add from various
pages) that had Chapter as a type or that would give it a number and
line it up with 1 Introuction.

Thanks in advance.

All pages of a book are called "Book Portion". Go to the parent where
you want to add a new page and select "add". Depending on the type of
the parent the child becomes a "part", "chapter", "section" or
"subsection". In case the new page is a child of the root you can
choose if you want it to be a "part" or a "chapter" (along the lines
of LaTeX). To reorder the children use the "order" command (again in
the parent, if I understand your example correctly that would be the
book). To change the parent use the "move" command and the type of the
page will automatically adapt to the new parent.

Thanks for your time and explanation, Lukas. I've got it the way I want
it now.
