Text Formats (Headings)

Headings

The Heading Elements not only change the style of the text, but also add code known as semantic markup to identify the structure of your content. It is very important to use headings correctly to make sure your content is accessible.

Headings should be applied in a hierarchical order (similar to an outline).听

  • Heading 1:听The most important heading on the page. There will only be one Heading 1 and this will always be applied to the page title. You do not need to add a Heading 1 element.
  • Heading 2:听The first subheading of the page
  • Headings 3 -5: These听are additional headings under a Heading 2.
  • Normal: The 'normal' format is basic听text, also known as "paragraph" text.听 Normal text format is used for all text other than headings. If you do not apply a format element to your text, it will automatically be normal text.

Examples of Headings:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
