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).Ìý

  • Heading 2:ÌýThe first subheading of the page
  • Headings 3 -5: TheseÌýare additional headings under a Heading 2.
  • Normal: The 'normal' format is basicÌýtext, also known as "paragraph" text.Ìý 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.
