Heading Table of Contents Accessibility support This component does not include any special accessibility features. Development considerations Heading hierarchy While using the Heading component, take care of the correct heading hierarchy which can be adjusted through the tag property. Keep in mind that the visual appearance must not always be identical with the semantic hierarchy. Best practices Use one unique h1 per page that describes what that page is about. Use headings to describe the content below. Do not use an HTML heading just to make the text appear bigger or stand out. Use heading levels like the index of a book: hierarchical. Do not choose a heading by its size, but by its level in the context of the content. Heading hierarch should not increase by more than one level at a time. Do not skip a heading level from the top down.

Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
