Emphasized Subheadings

<h4>Emphasized Subheadings</h4>

The use of headings should be consistent. The h1 at the top of the content should be identical to the link title in the left nav. Subheadings in h2 should be used for categorizing content paragraphs and sections within the content. Any sub sections of a certain area should use h3. If a sub subsection needs some emphasis, the use of h4 is allowed. There shouldn't be any use of headings beyond h4.

Links & Buttons

Links inside body text should always use the standard link format of:

<a href="#">link text</a>

This is what a standard link looks like.

For a link that needs to draw more attention, we can use the "main_action" class as follows:

<a class="main_action" href="#">Button Text</a>

Will produce:

Button Text

Inline photo aligned right

The image to the left is an inline photo with left alignment that will allow text to wrap to the right. Be careful using this with too little text. This won't work well with just a sentence or two.

Toggles

Uses

Typically we use toggles to initially hide content that is relevant to the page, but may be overwhelming to a user scanning for the content he wants. A long page with large blocks of text separated into several h2 or h3 sections can be a good candidate for the toggle. Navigational items are also good uses such as our left nav accordions.

Standard Block Toggle

<a> <span class="togglebutton toggle_show"> This text will be clickable to show/hide the hidden content. </span> </a> <div class="toggle"> <p>This is the content that will be initially hidden and then shown when the above span is clicked.</p> </div> 
This text will be clickable to show/hide the hidden content.

This is the content that will be initially hidden and then shown when the above span is clicked.
