Box and section headings

Rationale

Many users scan through headings to find the most important section of information to them. People using text-to-speech software can also scan through headings, but they must be formatted as headings in the HTML coding.

Requirements

  • Do not manually format headings. Use the pre-formatted heading options in LibGuides as Heading 3's, 4's, and 5's.
  • Use meaningful language for headings
  • Headings within LibGuides boxes should start with Heading 3's.
