H2 Clear headings and titles

Most texts are not "flat": they have a structure. They consist of headings and paragraphs, lists or quotations. The title of a page should clearly describe what the page is about. And (sub)headings should describe the subject or purpose of the paragraphs below them.

Always start a text with a title and give it the style H2. H1 is already used for the page title.

Maintain a heading structure in the following order: H1, H2, H3. Give the paragraph the paragraph style.

    Use a list where possible.
