Heading structure #7

Open mpaiva opened 6 months ago

mpaiva commented 6 months ago

The function of a heading is to label a section of content. Headings should not be used as a convenient way to style other text.

Assistive technologies use markup tags to help users navigate pages and find content more quickly. Screen readers recognize coded headings, and can announce the heading along with its level, or provide another audible cue like a beep. Other assistive technologies can change the visual display of a page, using properly coded headings to display an outline or alternate view.

For more information about how to make headings accessible, see Techniques for WCAG 2.0 - H42: Using h1 - h6 to identify headings.

The following are my recommendations for assigning proper heading structure to the templates:
