final PS: There is no harm working with the pieces in article style for now. But if we want integrated TOC, index, front-matter etc we will get these better from a book style. I think many of the wysiwg tools may just produce an article header by default. Probably can be tweaked - or just reassemble the pieces later ie transform articles into chapters.
