[Framers] Question about differentiating heading levels

[Tammy Van Boening]

Hi David,

Yep, that's typically exactly what I do . . . go down point sizes, and at
times, I have had to go down to H5s as well. (It was a brutally and
ridiculously deep app. w/ nested functionality!)

I might just take a riff on this . . . and let the chips fall where they
may.

Thanks!

Tammy -

In our "commercial" template, all headings are bold.

We start Heading_1 at 24 pt.  Heading_2 is 16 pt.  Heading_3, 14 pt;
Heading_4, 12 pt.

We go down to Heading_4 but not further although we are sometimes asked to
have headings five.

Good luck

Hi All,

Working on a new template for a new client and my head is spinning. It's
been sooooooo long since I have designed anything w/ all these required
bells and whistles. (I am more of plain Jane template kinda' gal, and want
to focus more on the technical content of big honking manual, but that's a
whole 'nuther story.)

That said, I have the following paragraph tags:

Chapter Title and Appendix Title, both 28 pt and the tags have a Reference
Graphic called TitleLine underneath them that is a single line done in a
corporate color and font for my client and of a preferred width. These tags
are used only on the first page of a chapter or appendix.

HeadLev1, which is used at the Top of the Page. It is 24 pt. and in the same
corporate font in Regular weight and in good old black w/out any other
adornments and is In Column.

HeadLev2, which can start anywhere, is obviously used after a HeadingLev1,
is 16 pt and the same corporate font Regular weight in good old black  w/out
any other adornments and is In Column.

I will need at times to have a HeadLev3. . . not frequent, but needed. It
needs to be delineated somehow from HeadLev2. I am not really crazy about
going down a font size, unless  maybe making it bold instead? Or do I keep
it the same font size as HeadLevel 2 and maybe put like a thin double-line
underneath it? 

I am just curious how y'all have made a distinct difference between
Heading2s and Heading3s w/out overdoing a Heading3. 

Because I cannot have any sideheads in this template (a single text frame),
everything is In Column, so I can't make everything other than a Heading3 go
across columns/sideheads and keep the Heading3s just like Heading2s but make
them  In Column instead (which is my usual approach).
