Where do section headings go in an essay?
Section headings are usually placed in boldface but in ordinary-sized type; they are not centred but placed at the left-hand margin. A section heading may be placed on a separate line (with a following blank line), or it may be placed at the beginning of a paragraph; only in the second case should there be a full stop at the end.
Why are section breaks more troublesome than page breaks?
Section breaks. Section breaks can be more troublesome than page breaks, because many users don’t understand the nature of sections. A section lets you control formatting as needs change. For instance, you might want to print part of or an entire page in landscape in the middle of a document that’s using portrait orientation.
Do you put a question mark at the end of a title?
It should not be italicized or placed in quotation marks, and it should not have a full stop at the end. Any punctuation or italics which are required for independent reasons should be used normally; this includes a question mark at the end if the title is a question.
Where does the title of a book go?
The title of a complete work is usually centred near the top of the first page; if possible, it should be printed either in large letters or in boldface, or even in both. It should not be italicized or placed in quotation marks, and it should not have a full stop at the end.

Do you indented the first paragraph after a title?
Either style is acceptable. Note that the first paragraph after a title or a section heading is not indented; all following paragraphs should be indented.
When to put a colon at the end of a title?
If there is a subtitle, a colon should be placed at the end of the title proper; unless the title and the subtitle are both very short, it is best to use two lines. There are two possible styles for capitalization: you may capitalize every significant word, or you may capitalize only those words which intrinsically require capitals.
