|
| Headings should be nested sequentially, starting with level 2 (<code>==</code>), then level 3 (<code>===</code>) and so on (level 1 is not used, as this is the auto-generated page title). Do not skip parts of the sequence, such as selecting levels for emphasis; this is not the purpose of headings. | | Headings should be nested sequentially, starting with level 1 (<code>=</code>) or level 2 (<code>==</code>), then level 3 (<code>===</code>) and so on. Avoid skipping parts of the sequence, such as selecting levels for emphasis; this is not the purpose of headings. The exception to this guideline is when multiple level 2 heading in sequence would unnecessarily break up the page, such as the presence of several short sections in a row. |

| Do not make pseudo-headings using semicolon markup and try to avoid using bold markup. Screen readers and other machines can only use correctly formatted headings for navigation. If you want to reduce the size of the table of contents (TOC), use {{t|TOC limit}} instead. In cases where {{t|TOC limit}} cannot be used because of lower-level headings elsewhere in the article, then using bold for the headings causes the least annoyance for screen reader users. | |
