The do(cid:272)u(cid:373)e(cid:374)t outli(cid:374)e is the stru(cid:272)ture of a do(cid:272)u(cid:373)e(cid:374)t, ge(cid:374)erated (cid:271)y the do(cid:272)u(cid:373)e(cid:374)t(cid:859)s headings, form titles, table titles, and any other appropriate landmarks to map out the document. Appropriately using the document outline aids assistive technology, like a screen reader to help the user, or be parsed by a search engine to improve search results. Like a table of contents, it has titles that describe different parts of the book. Check it by using html5 outliner tool. Sectioning elements that do not contain the child heading will be labelled as (cid:862)u(cid:374)titled(cid:863), i(cid:374)di(cid:272)ati(cid:374)g the la(cid:272)k of a logi(cid:272)al headi(cid:374)g (cid:271)ut preser(cid:448)i(cid:374)g the outli(cid:374)e. Al(cid:449)ays (cid:373)ake sure there are (cid:374)o (cid:858)u(cid:374)titled se(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s(cid:859) If you do(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:449)ant these headings to be visible, you can always hide them with css. **design by committee is not a good thing.
