Capitalisation of words for new chapter

RETURNING TO St. Petersburg after saying goodbye to her mother, Catherine immediately asked for Maria Zhukova. ...

I noticed authors always capitalise a few words for each chapters, sometimes they are 2 words, sometimes 3, sometimes 4, etc.

Is there no specified rule about the number of the words that need to be capitalised? Thanks!

iclearwater Is there no specified rule about the number of the words that need to be capitalised? Thanks No, it's just for decorative effect. Some books make the first letter very fancy and extra large.

This is a style choice. There are no fixed rules.

Not always. A common choice is not to capitalise any words.
