Text Formatting menu in Drupal Toolbar
Paragraph format:
All body text should be set to use Paragraph. You may add additional formats for bold, italic, bulleted and numbered text, etc.
Our web pages must meet this Accessibility* formatting requirement:
To divide up a page into manageable and logical page sections, please use Heading 2 as the default/primary Heading style for each section of a page.
Only use Heading 3, 4, 5 as sub-section headings, following the same pattern as a standard outline in MS Word.
Headings 2-5 should not be bolded using the Drupal Toolbar B tool.
Please don't use a bolded Body Normal paragraph as a section heading.
Heading 1 is reserved for the Page Title only (and formatted automatically).
Example of Page Section Headings:
Heading 2 (This is the first page section.)
Normal Paragraph text text text text text text text text text text.
Heading 3 (...if this is a sub-section within Heading 2).
Normal Paragraph text text text text text text text text text text.
Heading 4 (...if this is a sub-sub-section within Heading 3).
Normal Paragraph text text text text text text text text text text.
Heading 2 (format returns to Heading 2 to start another page section.)
Normal Paragraph text text text text text text text text text text.
Accessibility Requirements
Accessible formatting is used by visitors with a text-to-speech software called a Screen Reader in order to quickly navigate to any section of the page. Typically, the first Heading 1 is read, followed by a list of any Heading 2.
This saves time for the user of a screen reader by skipping all the Normal Paragraph content in each section of the page because they can navigate by only listening to the Heading 2 being read out for each page section.
