% 	with the chapter label (e.g., Chapter 1) set by #2, 
% 	and the chapter title (e.g., My First Chapter) set by #3, and 
% 	followed by space or rule set by #4.
% The following standard variables may be used: 
% 	\chaptertype is the type of chapter (i.e., Chapter or Appendix)
% 	\chapternumber is the number for the chapter (e.g., 1 or A)
% 	\chaptertitle is the title text for the chapter

% Each, in principle, can end with a command that takes a single argument.
