Question

I am working in LaTeX, and when I create a pdf file (using LaTeX button or pdfLaTeX button or using yap) the pdf has only the first two pages. No errors. It just stops. If I make the first page longer by adding text, it still stops at end of 2nd page. Any ideas?

OK, responding to first comment, here is the code

\documentclass{article}
\title{Outline of Book}

    \begin{document}

Add a tilde (~) after each of these section and subsection commands. If you have no content for a section LaTeX will not break the box (a tilde is a non-breaking space and will count as content).

i.e.

    \section*{Preface}~
         \subsection*{Audience}~
    ...

To meet your goal (of an outline) it may be better to use nested enumerations:

\begin{enumerate}
    \item Preface
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item  Audience
        \item  What makes this book different?
        \item  Necessary background
        \item  How to read this book
    \end{enumerate}
    \item Introduction
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item The purpose of logistic regression
        \item The need for logistic regression
        \item Types of logistic regression
    \end{enumerate}
    ...
\end{enumerate}
