Text - Heading

An heading is a text feature that contains a short and prominent sentence.

It's part of an header. If not, it's the header in itself and creates implicitly a section

Its primary functions are :

• organizing a document in section
• resuming a text
• catching the eye.

An heading in HTML is defined as a short introduction of a section

In a letter, the heading is one sentence that carries the reason of the writing.

In the press, the term is known as headline.

An heading may summarize a section. ie:

• the whole page
• a chapter
• or just a component
