* A higher order structure element than chapter is part.
* The generic interface for formatting issues in the table
  of contents are macros that start with \l@:
  \l@part, \l@chapter, ...
  Package tocloft provides help at user level.

The standard classes make a page break *before* this entry
easier, but they don't force page breaks.

BTW, a better place for asking this kind of questions
is the newsgroup comp.text.tex or AFAIK the mailing list texhax,
see:
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=maillists
  Where to get help

See also FAQ section P.6 "Table of contents and indexes", e.g.:
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tocloft
  The format of the Table of Contents, etc.
