<p>Also, if you have a chapter/section number, one example I've seen of that kind of labeling is at <a href="http://www.certifiedchinesetranslation.com/openaccess/rdfconcepts-tc.html#section-Literals" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.certifiedchinesetranslation.com/openaccess/rdfconcepts-tc.html#section-Literals</a> where a section title is labeled in the form of &quot;第4節Early Uniform Normalization&quot;. Of course, you can use 章 in lieu of 節 for both chapters and sections.</p>

The [間隔號](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/间隔号) in the online version of 重訂標點符號手冊 is incorrect (check the pdf version). It should be like in `《三國志·蜀志·諸葛亮傳》` but NOT `《莊子．逍遙遊》`.

@Stan Thanks, however, on the online page, it says "占一個字的位置，居正中。", meaning it should be a full width character, or was there an update?

If you insist on "full-width", you can use "katakana middle dot" (U+30FB) like `《三國志・蜀志・諸葛亮傳》`, but never the "fullwidth English full stop" (U+FF0E) as in `《莊子．逍遙遊》`. That wiki page of 間隔號 has a comprehensive table for middle dots.

According to the section 4.15.3.1 of Guóbiāo(the Chinese national standards)《[GB/T 15834-2011 标点符号用法](https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=GB%2FT%2015834-2011%20%E6%A0%87%E7%82%B9%E7%AC%A6%E5%8F%B7%E7%94%A8%E6%B3%95&oq=GB%2FT%2015834-2011%20%E6%A0%87%E7%82%B9%E7%AC%A6%E5%8F%B7%E7%94%A8%E6%B3%95&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58j69i61.651j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)》.

is better. But you should notice that the dot （you can check it in section 4.14） is not the dot in English text.
