How do headings organize information?

A heading is a short label for a section of a text. It tells readers what that part is about. Several headings can organize one larger subject into smaller, related topics.

The original park bulletin has Garden, Paths and Benches sections. Flowers in raised beds appear under Garden. A wide path leading to the gate belongs under Paths. The three benches by the wall are described under Benches. The headings make the page’s grouping visible before every detail is read.

A heading does not replace its section. Garden tells us the topic, but the sentence below supplies the particular information about the beds. Readers can move between an overview of the page and the details of a selected section. Headings help organize and locate information; their wording alone does not establish whether the information is accurate.
