headings These are titles, comprising single words or phrases, which indicate significant points within the linear flow and are useful for readers of long texts. Headings can be a way for the author to ‘signpost’ the meaning of the paragraphs that follow. Headings can be at different levels in the structure of the text; one common practice is the use of subheadings that follow inside the top-level heading. Most trade fiction will only have chapter headings, with no further headings inside each chapter. Non-fiction is likely to be more complex, with up to five levels of heading occasionally seen. The headings are subsequently used in the *table of contents (TOC), in the *prelims of a book. In the mark-up language for the Web (*HTML), headings are tagged from h1 through to h6, and it is important to maintain the correct structure for semantic validity, by only using these in the correct sequence. It would be wrong, for instance, to have h4 follow directly after h1. See also structural markup.
