Question Re: How to title a chapter of a book?

The way in which chapter titles are presented depends on the style chosen by the publisher of the book. They can be as the book title; they can be all lower case except for first word and proper names; they can be in caps and small caps. They are not generally all in capital letters as this is too dominating on a page.
Dear Anglika,
Thanks for your answer but what are the main words? Are preposition, articles and determiners not main words?
How do I understand that this word is not important or what you called is not main word and should not start with capital letter? Also what do you mean by caps and small caps? Aren't capital letters and caps the same terms?
Regards!
