    public class Chapter

extends Section

A `Chapter` is a special `Section`.

A chapter number has to be created using a `Paragraph` as title and an `int` as chapter number. The chapter number is shown be default. If you don't want to see the chapter number, you have to set the numberdepth to 0.

Example:

>      Paragraph title2 = new Paragraph("This is Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 18, Font.BOLDITALIC, new Color(0, 0, 255)));
>      Chapter chapter2 = new Chapter(title2, 2);
>      chapter2.setNumberDepth(0);
>      Paragraph someText = new Paragraph("This is some text");
>      chapter2.add(someText);
>      Paragraph title21 = new Paragraph("This is Section 1 in Chapter 2", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 16, Font.BOLD, new Color(255, 0, 0)));
>      Section section1 = chapter2.addSection(title21);
>      Paragraph someSectionText = new Paragraph("This is some silly paragraph in a chapter and/or section. It contains some text to test the functionality of Chapters and Section.");
>      section1.add(someSectionText);
