Heading structure

Hi all



I'm struggling to find a WCAG 2.1 success criteria for a correctly nested
heading structure.



For the h1 heading, although it is generally used for skip links, I believe
that we can use success Criterion 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Level A):

"A mechanism is available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on
multiple Web pages."



For the heading structure, can I be very literal with Success Criterion
1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A):

"Information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation
can be programmatically determined or are available in text."



My thinking is that each level of heading is related to the higher level in
a hierarchy.



So as to not add needlessly to the number of emails in the list, I thank you
in anticipation.



Cheers



Barry
