Styles
We’ve included a number of styling options for you to add to text on your pages. These can be found under the Styles dropdown box in the WYSIWYG. These styles only work on select text objects. For a full list of the styles, their effects, and the text objects they can be used on, see the table starting on the next page.
Next to the Styles dropdown, there is a dropdown that says Paragraph or Format. This can be used to add headings to your page. For accessibility purposes, heading 1 should never be used on a page, as it is already automatically generated for the main title of the page. There are 5 other heading styles offered, however. A final note on headings: be sure that headings come in sequential order on your page (i.e. heading 2- heading 3- heading 4). Do not skip heading 3 and go straight from 2 to 4, as this breaks the accessibility of the site.
