Hello kind list people,

My word file needs headings added, but all the sections are lists
1.Budget 2020-2021
paragraphs
2.Futurized Figures
paragraphs
3.Projections 2021
paragraphs

Is there anything wrong with making these section title list items
headings? is there a problem with wcag?

Maybe use a Multilevel List which would give you Headings and numbers?
Multilevel lists are the third type of list in the Paragraph Group to the
immediate right of numbered lists.

Cheers, Karen

Lists cause quite a verbosity for SR, if they are unordered
(*list-style-type*, even in standard setting). Nested lists cause additional
verbosity.
It’s a question of usability and not accessibility for SR. So, please don’t
make me think and don’t enervate me with multiple meta info, if possible!
In Larries example, a heading for each list would fit for me.
