About prefaces The preface is one of the highest-level divisions of a report. You
can use it to provide introductory or explanatory information that
applies to the rest of the report.
A report can have at most one preface. In the report layout model,
the preface is directly connected to the report object. In the
generated Document report, the preface, if present, is at the same
level as the chapters. It also comes before all chapters.
A preface can contain both paragraphs and sections. In the
generated Document report, all the paragraphs directly included in
a preface come before the sections of the preface. While a preface
can contain many paragraphs and sections, only the first one of
each is directly connected to the preface.
