Canvas Accessibility: Headings
Headings are an essential part of designing digital content that is universally accessible.
For more general information about headings, view the Rice KB doc titled Headings & Semantic Structure.
Rich Content Editor
Creating heading levels is easy in the Canvas Rich Content Editor, which you’ll find in the following areas:
- Announcements
- Assignments
- Discussions
- Pages
- Quizzes
- Syllabus
In the Rich Content Editor, you’ll find a dropdown menu with four important formatting options:
- Paragraph (normal text)
- Header 2 (major section)
- Header 3 (subsection)
- Header 4 (minor section)
HTML Editor
Alternatively, toggle the HTML Editor button above the Rich Content Editor to create or edit heading tags and text directly in the editor. Toggle the Rich Content Editor button to return to the live preview.
Example:
