Hello everyone,
Thanks
to all who helped me better understand the issues surrounding my
question.
The document style I am following requires that the
first three
headings are included in the table of contents. Headings
one and two
are easy, as they stand on lines by themself. Heading three
must be
aligned with the left margin in bold and followed by a period.
The
rest of the paragraph or paragraphs folllow.
This style makes
sense visually, bold text at the margin represents a
change in
topic. less so when reading or editing with audio output (My
computer does not have a monitor attached.) Using good sectioning
allows one to fold the document for navigation and organization.
Consider how Org-mode in Emacs works as an analogue. I started thinking
that life would be easier if heading level 3 sections could be both
structural, for navigation, and visual, inline with their first
paragraph.
This idea holds true both in source text and in the
pdf output.
Properly tagged pdf documents allow one to jump by
structural elements
(heading to heading, paragraph to paragraph. In a
perfect world one
could have it both ways: a structural element like
a section, but placed
inline as though it were just another layout
token. The audio using
tagged structure indicates a topic change,
while those using their eyes
just see the bold text.
Hopefully
this short explanation adequately describes my reason for
addressing
the list.
