first words: does this mean from the prologue or does it mean from chapter 1

You can do both. When you click on the edit pencil icon, it opens a text box. Below that is a small box titled ‘+add item’ which will open another text box.

I would start the entry

(Prologue)
Text

And in those boxes you need to use html code. Next line is br inside carrot brackets.

You can type Prologue and then the letters br between the pointy brackets. That will drop to the next line where you put the first words. Do the same with Chapter 1. It will look like this.

Prologue
Text.
Chapter 1
Text.

Plus, it doesn’t need to be just the first sentence. I often insert the first paragraph. It often gives more interest and context.

I had thought that the preferred method was to add a new item for each part, one for prologue and the other for chapter 1.
