Requirements

  • Use features of the markup language to indicate logical document structure.
  • Provide a short but descriptive page or screen title.

Full Explanation

It is good practice for all but the simplest documents to indicate their structure through headings and sub-headings using structural markup, rather than formatting effects or incorrect static text. Users can then navigate using the ‘rotor’ feature for iOS and Android, allowing the ability to skip to sections of content with heading markup.

Ensure you use headings where applicable, following the specification, ensuring proper nesting according to their level in a web view or providing native headings in iOS or Android React Native.

Provide a descriptive title for the application screen to allow easy identification. Keep the title short, unique, and concise. All pages must have a title that introduces the page content or purpose.
