A Heading block is a line of text set larger than the body around it. Add it from the **Blocks** menu of a section or a column, which offers **Heading 1**, **Heading 2**, and **Heading 3**. ## How it renders A heading comes out of the email builder as a styled line of text. It is not wrapped in an HTML heading tag, so the level you pick does not mark the line as a heading for a screen reader. Treat the level as a size preset, and pick it for the size you want rather than for the outline it implies. A level 1 heading at 32 pixels above a level 2 heading at 24 pixels, above body text at 16 pixels, in a rendered email That leaves the wording to carry the structure. Write headings that read as headings on their own, and keep them short enough to scan. The breadcrumb reads **Heading** with no number, so it will not tell you which level you are on. The **Size** box will. ## Settings * **Font Family** picks the typeface, with a weight selector beside it. It starts on the brand's heading font, which is a separate setting from the brand's body font. * **Size** is a slider and a box, 8 to 48 pixels. * **Color** sets the text colour. * **Alignment** is left, centre, or right. * **Advanced** holds three controls. * **Letter Spacing**, 0 to 10. * **Line Height**, 1 to 2. * **Margin**, the gap above and below the heading. There is no level control on the panel. To change a heading's level, click into it in the email and press **Cmd + Alt** and a number on a Mac, or **Ctrl + Alt** and a number on Windows. All six levels work, including the three the menu does not offer. Each level carries its own default size, and switching level resets **Size** to it. | Level | Default size | | --------- | ------------ | | Heading 1 | 32 px | | Heading 2 | 24 px | | Heading 3 | 19 px | | Heading 4 | 16 px | | Heading 5 | 13 px | | Heading 6 | 11 px | Type `{{` in a heading to drop in a variable.
