Edit CMS: add text to indicate generated heading weights #139

Open m-aiello opened 6 years ago

Hello,

I have some technical feedback regarding the back-end of the CMS.

Through site improve, we've noticed a lot of our pages are flagged for incorrectly formatting headings, such as skipping from h2 to h4, and so forth.

One thing we would find helpful is if, in the CMS editing mode, the fields could tell us what heading is being used. For example, on a Service Detail page, the title field for sections could say "This will display as heading 2", so we know that any headings in that rich text editor should go from 3 down to 6. Similarly, on How-to pages, it could say the "What you need" text will display as heading 3, so we know to use headings 4 to 6 in that rich text editor.

I share this because we've usually just eye-balled it, but we now see that we got it wrong on a very large number of pages. If we could see the pre-determined heading weights of certain fields in the CMS, it could help us in drafting content, as well as maintaining good accessibility standards.

Thanks for listening! Michael
