Headings

Headings should follow a structured hierarchy, with clear visual distinction between heading levels. It is important that there are not too many levels of headings: if necessary, edit the headings to combine levels. An example of a heading hierachy appears below.

Digital and Print Media advocates the use of the Initial capital style (sometimes called sentence case) for headings – that is, Undergraduate core studies, not Undergraduate Core Studies. It is advisable not use upper case characters only for headings, unless as a design element, because it is thought that these are harder to read, especially for the visually impaired.
