# Pages and Summary
GitBook uses a `SUMMARY.md` file to define the structure of chapters and subchapters of the book. The `SUMMARY.md` file is used to generate the book's table of contents.
The `SUMMARY.md`'s format is simply a list of links, the title of the link is used as the chapter's title, and the target is a path to that chapter's file.
Subchapters are defined simply by adding a nested list to a parent chapter.
### Simple example
```markdown
# Summary
* [Part I](part1/README.md)
* [Writing is nice](part1/writing.md)
* [GitBook is nice](part1/gitbook.md)
* [Part II](part2/README.md)
* [We love feedback](part2/feedback_please.md)
* [Better tools for authors](part2/better_tools.md)
```
### Example with subchapters split into parts
```markdown
# Summary
### Part 1
* [Writing is nice](part1/writing.md)
* [GitBook is nice](part1/gitbook.md)
### Part 2
* [We love feedback](part2/feedback_please.md)
* [Better tools for authors](part2/better_tools.md)
```
