Exercise 2. - Create this tables of contents in notepad

The printing press with movable type was invented in East Asia, for a complex writing
system, circa 1234. The production of sorts (individual letters of type) was slow.
Two centuries later, around 1440, the printing press was introduced into the Holy
Roman Empire by the German Johannes Gutenberg, based on existing screw presses.
Gutenberg, a goldsmith by profession, developed a printing system, by adapting
existing technologies to printing purposes, as well as making inventions of his own. His
newly devised hand mould made possible the precise and rapid creation of metal
movable type in large quantities. Movable type had been hitherto unknown in Europe.
In Europe, the two inventions, the hand mould and the printing press, together
drastically reduced the cost of printing books and other documents, particularly in
short print runs.
The printing press spread within several decades to over two hundred cities in a dozen
European countries. By 1500, printing presses in operation throughout Western
Europe had already produced more than twenty million volumes.
