3. Use the styles for headings included in MS Word or your OpenLab site’s page and post editor.
Using headings styles is necessary for screen readers to properly navigate among different sections. It can also save you time by applying any style changes across all headings in your document.
I always use the styles headings inside wordpress as it auto links to my table of contents for each page making navigation consistent for the class.
I would add here that it is better for content creator’s to be able to focus on content and style decisions to be made by those with expertise in that area. So if someone has created a sectioning style I trust they had reasons for the choices they made, and using the sectioning allows future choices to be applied retroactively.
Using the built in headings is easy enough.
