Super interesting and I love the flexibility it offers. Could you give a couple of best case examples of how and when to use these options. Thank you for all your brilliant videos - so easy to implement.

Absolutely! The main benefit to having additional text types is both accessibility and style options. Screen readers use headings to navigate page content, so additional heading types can create deeper layers of navigation. From the design perspective, it gives us a chance to create additional styles for these headings. 😉 An example that came up in a recent strategy session was for a project inside a portfolio. We had the title of the page (h1) the sections on the page (h2) the sub titles in the sections (h3) and inside those sub sections were categories (h4) then we used the h5 to show steps of the process in each category. I've never needed this level in my own blogs, but it was so cool to find an actionable use case that I had to share here on KZbin! 🙌
