Just as with HTML screen readers that I have used (JAWS, NVDA, Window Eyes)
allow you to jump to specific levels of headings and in lists of headings
will specify the level giving the user more information about the structure
of the document. Best practice is to use the numbered headings. It is
important to nest heading levels correctly.
