Alda's Superheading Block
Add accessible headings for the WordPress Block Editor with superheadings and subheadings.
If you want to get things right, headings can get tricky when you have both subheadings and an overheading above the main heading.
Current web standards recommend the use of the element but this block demonstrates the use of plain-and-simple heading elements, maintains the heading hierarchy and ensures accessibility, while also facilitating typographical hierarchy.
In a 2025 blog post, I argued that the element was redundant and that the same could be achieved in a semantic and accessible manner using a single heading element with elements nested inside without breaking the heading hierarchy. This demonstrates that way of doing things.
