*HTML headings

These heading serve two purposes for non-sighted users:

1. They provide an outline of the page, so users can understand how the page is structured, and how all the sections relate to one another.
2. They provide a target so users can jump from heading to heading with a single keystroke (e.g., the letter “H” in some screen readers)

With the first purpose in mind, headings should be used in proper order whenever possible. That is,  you shouldn’t have H2 headings with no parent H1 heading, and all headings should be in order with no heading levels skipped.

Incorporating headings

• From the CKeditor tool bar select the drop down menu titled Format
• Based on the page structure you should select the appropriate Heading type
