Header – OU General

Usage

  • Break up text into sections/categories within a page

Where to Find It


You can find the Header component in your trusty side panel.

In the Header component, you will see a series of fields to fill out:

  • Date: Any format you would like, but not necessary always. Remember that each page is date in the footer dynamically when that page was last updated. Use date to date stamp an article/announcement.
  • Header 2 (info below)
  • Header 3 (info below)
  • Header 4 (info below)
  • CSS ID: You will only use this for anchoring purposes
  • CSS Class: This is where you will place the available CSS Classes (available CSS Classes here). Multiple may be used in a component, separated by a space.
    Example: emphasis well

Think of your headers like you would a meeting agenda or a paper you are writing. Your Header 2 is the overall topic(s) of your page, Header 3 is a subject within the Header 2 before it, and Header 4 is for subjects within your Header 3 section.

Example:

Header 2: Marketing and Communications

Header 3: Web Team

Header 4: Sally Staff-Member

You do not have to use all header levels on each page, but use them to break up content and subjects. Do NOT skip a heading level (having a Header 2, then a Header 4), and do NOT use a header for text that is not a true header (just because it's bigger or you like the font).
