It seems a waste of a perfectly fine heading level to simply use it as a surrogate for a previous element. I think this kind of semantic hierarchy is fine for an html document: Good: title h1 h2 h2 h2 h1 h2 h2 h2 etc. (fill in the implied html, head, body, div, p elements as needed). And that more often than not, it would be a mistake to do this: Less good: title h1 h2 h3 h3 h3 h2 h3 h3 h3 Tantek On 2/12/03 2:12 PM, "Philip TAYLOR [PC336/H-XP]" <P.Taylor@Rhul.Ac.Uk> wrote: > > Yes, we usually do the same here : > > <title> = "Royal Holloway : <contents of H1>" > <h1> = "<whatever> > > but there are cases (admittedly far less common), where > <title> does not echo <h1>, and there are two or more > <h1>s. > > ** Phil. > -------- > Nigel Peck - MIS Web Design wrote: >> >> As I said "semantically the same or near enough". >> >> For example, on my site I have a format like this: >> >> <title>MIS Web Design: Title of this document</title> >> >> <h1>Title of this document</h1> >> >> The <title> may be used to add additional information that helps with >> indexing in bookmarks lists, search engine results etc. Further information >> that is more site related than document related but semantically they are >> the same in relation to the content of that page. >> >> Nigel >
