RE: Question about Headings (Succesion Criteria 1.3.1, 2.4.1, 2.4.6, and 2.4.10)

Aha.

 

There is a confusion here.  All of the 'Volumes' listed below would be
(should be) at the same level of heading. The use of "which" heading is
open to discussion, but what you *should* have is something more like
this:

 

(<h 1>the Entire Collection "Name" [sic]</h1>)

 

<h 2>Volume 1</h2>

<h 2>Volume 2</h2>

<h 2>Volume 3</h2>
<h 2>Volume 4</h2>

<h 2>Volume 5</h2>

<h 2>Volume 6</h2>

<h 2>Volume 7</h2>

<h 2>Volume 8</h2>

 

.and further, if required:

 

<h 2>Volume 1</h2>

    <h 3>Topic 1 of Volume 1</h3>

    <h 3>Topic 2 of Volume 1</h3>

    <h 3>Topic 3 of Volume 1</h3>

 

<h 2>Volume 2</h2>

    <h 3>Topic 1 of Volume 2</h3>

    <h 3>Topic 2 of Volume 2</h3>

    <h 3>Topic 3 of Volume 2</h3>

 

.etc.

 

This hierarchal structure is extremely important for overall document
comprehension and is also used (aggressively) by screen reading technology
to facilitate inter-page navigation.

Take a look at the following site
http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol4/html_no9.htm. If they used headers
"Volume 6" and "Volume 5' are a big list. My list is bigger where the text
information "might have" seven volumes. Each has its own header (h1 for
volume 1, h2 for volume 2. The question is how do I start with "Volume 7"?


 

Note: I recently discovered that 2.4.10 also has an issue with headers.. 

 

At the moment I have it set up so

 

Volume 1=h1

Volume 2=h2

Volume 3=h3
Volume 4=h4

Volume 5=h5

Volume 6=h6

Volume 7=h1

Volume 8=h2

 

Is Volume 7 and 8 set up correctly. Note: Netmechanic is partially
similary to my site.

 

In reality the do not use headers.

 

If they did, what would be the correct set up?

Could you explain more clearly what you have in mind?
You can have more than six *headings* (not to be confused with "headers"),
but HTML provides only six *levels of headings*..
Is your problem with the number of headings or the number of levels?

Best regards,
