Cithakan:Chapter heading

Usage[besut]
Defaults[besut]

- Bottom margin: inherited
Uppercase?[besut]
Uppercase text, especially in headings, is generally a typographic/stylistic choice, not a statement of emphasis. It is therefore better to type titles in title case and use CSS (via {{Uc}} or this template) to style it.
