Headings
All NICE templates contain set heading styles. Templates for specific documents should contain all the types of heading you need for that document – usually up to 4 levels of heading.
Make sure headings are unique within a document (for example, don't have 2 sections called 'Methods' in the same document).
Numbered and unnumbered heading styles can be mixed, but be consistent within a document – so don't use 'Numbered heading 1' with 'Heading 2' in one section, then 'Heading 1' with 'Numbered heading 2' in the next. In most documents we use numbered styles for the first 2 levels of heading, and unnumbered styles for level 3 and below.
If your document will appear in the web viewer, bear in mind that you will need a heading for anything you want to hyperlink from another section. Keep these headings as short as possible, because links to them can become unstable if the text is too long.
