Formatting: Are Subheaders Allowed

[ScribeWrite]

Is it acceptable to create scannable content? Are subheaders allowed? Are lists and bullets allowed?

[iamyownboss]

Yes, you can add sub headers, lists and bullets, as long as you also have content below each point to explain each point.

Thank you.

I figure title and sub-headers must be twelve point Times New Roman like the rest of the text, but can we bold format the title and sub-headers?

Sure, you can embolden in your document, although they won't appear like that in your extract.

After a sub-heading, should I use a double space before starting the paragraph, or is a single space acceptable?

Thanks.

[jak]

I always leave a line space between a subhead and para.

Ooops, still getting to grips with the forum. I replied but the comment has not shown up, so here I go repeating myself!

Thanks for your answer, Jak.

Another query:
How do you distinguish the article title from the subheadings?
Is it acceptable to embolden both and in addition underline the main heading?

Thanks, help much appreciated.

I can't answer for everyone, but this is what I do.

Main heading is in Arial size 14 bold
byline arial size 12 bold

Main text TNR size 12 normal

Subheadings TNR size 12 bold

I never use underlining.

Of course, none of this shows up in the excerpt on the submission page, except the spacing. Hope this helps.

Very helpful.
Once again - thank you, Jak.
