needed to display the fancy separator line under the chapter title.

Wide Page Format
Pathfinder chapters, such as new classes, usually start with a wide column format with a
small sidebar. Bestiary uses this format almost completely.
It is up to you to choose between sidebar on the right or on the left. On odd pages the
content of the wide page will be shifted so that it doesn't overlap the edge of the page.
