+: Treat top-level headers as the given division type in LaTeX, ConTeXt,
+ DocBook, and TEI output. The hierarchy order is part, chapter, then section;
+ all headers are shifted such that the top-level header becomes the specified
+ type. The default is `section`. When the LaTeX document class is set to
+ `report`, `book`, or `memoir` (unless the `article` option is specified),
+ `chapter` is implied as the setting for this option. If `beamer` is the
+ output format, specifying either `chapter` or `part` will cause top-level
+ headers to become `\part{..}`, while second-level headers remain as their
+ default type.
