Re: Links as headings

My rule of thumb for when to use headings and when not:

Would you include the piece of content at hand in a table of contents or not?

If not, then most probably it should not be tagged as a heading.


Jukka just pointed to one other important aspect: if there is no content 'underneath' it - how can it be a heading?
