'Heading 1': your title is automatically set as an H1

'Intro_user': every page needs an introduction, which should be formatted as 'into_user'. Make sure this is not formatted as h2 - they look quite similar, but getting it right will make a big difference for users of screenreaders and search engines. 

'Heading 2's are used next to split up the content

The text under this heading 2 may or may not be split up further using H3 and H4 headings. You can have more than one h2. 

Standard body of text example: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

'Heading 3's help to split up text further
