Plugin: Heading

Notes

This plugin is similar in form and functionality to the Format plugin.

Overview

The heading feature allows a user to either insert or convert an existing text block as a heading element, or conversely to convert an existing heading element to a plain paragraph. It also provides help documentation on working with headings.

Accessibility Requirement

Heading levels should convey consistent structure in the document. In other words, heading levels should be incremental and should not be skipped.

User Interface Components

1. Menu Button

Appearance

• Label: Heading
• To the right of the label: a down arrow to indicate that the button displays a menu when activated

Behavior

When the menu button is activated it displays a menu.

2. Menu

Menu items
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
——–
Remove format
——–
Help

Behavior

• When the menu button is activated, the menu it displays contains all possible heading levels (2 through 6) but only the available heading levels are enabled.
• Also, if the current context (based on cursor position or unambiguous selection) is an existing heading, the menu item corresponding to its level should be checked.

Example 1

There are currently no headings in the document. Menu displays only Level 2 enabled, i.e. it’s the only available choice.

Example 2

The closest previous heading has Level 2. Menu displays Level 2 and Level 3 enabled.

Example 3

The closest previous heading has Level 3. Menu displays Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 enabled.
