How to Make Article Text Accessible
Updated onArticleAdding headings to your articles not only helps to convey their structure visually, but can also aid end-users that rely on screen readers (eg. they can listen to a list of headings, skip around between headings, etc.). We recommend keeping headings short and nesting them, as appropriate.
To assist authors in creating this structure, the document outline section of both the web and desktop ScreenSteps applications displays the heading level that will be reflected in the published article. They start at the H2 level (given the article title is always the designated H1) and end at H5.
