Description
The name "Title" for this component is a bit misleading as in fact it is a heading component, and therefore used to place a headline at a designated place, whether it is within or outside of columns or other components.
(Titles for pages are edited in the "Properties" of a page).
Usage
You are free to use it where necessary as long as the semantics are correct.
- The headline sizes are used according to their semantic importance, where heading 1 equals the HTML <h1>-tag, heading 2 equals the HTML<h2>-tag and so on. In some cases it is not necassary to place a <h1> heading, as this happens in the "Simple Header", "Product Detail Header" etc. If <h1> tag is already provided on the page, start tagging the content copy with heading 2, as we sized both tags with the same style.
- For semantic details see below in the "Good to know" section.
- Always be sure to have at least one <h1> per page.
- Heading H3 is for subheadlines mainly.
- Heading H4 is for paragraphs mainly.
- Heading 5 and Heading 6 should not be used, as they appear automatically by using certain components!

Alignment
Left aligned titles
Centered aligned titles
- A simple headline may be aligned center or left.
- Teaser sections with just a headline and a subline generally should be aligned with centered text.
- As a few more lines of text are added, left aligned text should be considered instead of center alignment.
Styling
Italic style option for headlines
- Use italic style to focus on certain parts of the title.
- A simple headline may be aligned center or left.
- Teaser sections with just a headline and a subline generally should be aligned with centered text.
- As a few more lines of text are added, left aligned text should be considered instead of center alignment.
Highlight style option
even in combination with italic style *
Highlight titles only on bg-white or bg-light sections *
- A maximum of 2 Titles per page should be marked "text highlight".
- Never use highlighted text on chromatic, design colored backgrounds, but highlight colors may be used to increase readability on background images or background videos.
