Expected Results

HTML header elements identify headings programmatically. Some access aids extract the headings to create an outline of the page, allowing users to get an overview and jump quickly to the part they want to see. It is important to use these markup elements to facilitate this rather than to use style effects to achieve a visual heading effect.
