Hi Michael, I use preface for a prologue. The stylesheets will use the value of the title element, not the word Preface, so you can make it Prologue or whatever you want. A preface is not part of the chapter numbering scheme.
You may be able to do the same thing for the epilogue, but I forget if preface is valid in that location. I’d give it a try to see if it will work.
