Guide to Title, Heading and Subheader Order and Proper Usage in Blackboard Ultra

Key Points 

• Follow Hierarchical Order of Headings: Maintain a logical flow of headings throughout the article. After Title, use Header, then Subheader, followed by Paragraph. Avoid skipping levels.

• Stick to Default Heading Font Size: Use the default font size for headings to maintain consistency and ease of readability. 

• Use Black Font Color: Keep the font color for headings and text black, unless a specific color is necessary for clarity or emphasis.

• Make Headings Descriptive and Relevant: Ensure that each heading clearly reflects the content it introduces. Descriptive headings help readers easily understand the structure of the article.

Using the built-in heading function

• Heading sizes can be found in the top left corner of the page in the toolbar section of the content area.

Example of header use and hierarchical structure in the WYSIWYG Editor.

• This picture is an example of how an article could be structured using built-in heading, subheading and paragraph styles.
• Start with Title. There should only be One Title in the document body. The Title is similar to Heading 1 in other editors. 
• Header comes after the Title. Header is equivalent to Heading 2.
• Subheader is next. Subheader is similar to Heading 3.

Using the built-in lists and bullets in the WYSIWYG Editor.

• Click the "Paragraph Format" icon.
• Select to use bullets or numbers for your list.

You can tell your list is formatted correctly if you see the list style selected in the toolbar.
