Section headings are used to organize the content.

NOTE 1
"Heading" is used in its general sense and includes titles and other ways to add a heading to different types of content.

NOTE 2
This success criterion covers sections within writing, not user interface components. User interface components are covered under Success Criterion 4.1.2.

For WCAG2ICT consideration:

• Are any notes needed non-web documents or software? Any considerations for closed functionality?
• Seems that the glossary term could be added to the Glossary terms that apply to all technologies section. Agree?
