Headings

Web documents can have up to six levels of headings. Level one indicates the most important heading while level six designates the lowest level heading. Heading levels should be used in hierarchical order. That is, a document should have only one most prominent heading (level 1) and it should be the first heading designation on a page. It is not necessary for a page to have any headings. However, if headings are designated, the first heading is level one. After designating the most level one heading, a page can have multiple headings in all other levels, as long as they are designated in hierarchical order. For example a page may have two level 2 headings and each of these may have 2 level 3 headings below it.
