Headings and subheadings organize content to guide readers. A heading or subheading appears at the beginning of a page or section and briefly describes the content that follows. Do not type all uppercase headings such as: "THIS IS A HEADING". Read more about this and other guidelines.
What is a subheading used for?
Sub-headings are often seen in non-fiction writing, such as an instruction text or an informational text. They capture the reader's attention to keep them reading down the page, following each sub-heading.
How do you add subheadings?
