Maybe but in my opinion if more costumization is needed then you
should use ColumnText. Chapters and sections are to be used as they are;
it's impossible to cater for all the formating tastes for classes that are
supposed to be simple to use.

This is a bug with jdk 1.2. It works with jdk 1.1.8, 1.3 and 1.4. In
the next release I'll do the convertion myself to avoid this.
