This page covers both body matter and another concept and thus should be split
[edit]Body text has two slightly different meanings, depending on context. A book designer, concerned with the overall sequence of a book, regards it as those pages that form the majority of a book, containing the body of text or body matter. A typesetter concerned instead with the layout of text on a page sees 'body text' as being those sections of the main text that are flowed into columns or justified as paragraphs, as distinct from the headings and any pictures that are floated out of the main body.
These should be two different pages, I think. And I'm not sure the first one shouldn't just be body matter. Like, merge the relevant section of this page into there, reduce the mention of body matter to a shoutout in the lede, and then correct inbound links...
