Diagnoses

Here is how tools diagnose the heading level skipped issue for HTML element 764 of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists page.

1. Heading levels should only increase by one; Heading order invalid

   Tool: Axe (Deque)

   Rule: heading-order

2. <p>Headings and subheadings create a <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/page-structure/headings/" target="_blank" title="Opens in new tab">navigable table of contents</a> for assistive devices. The numbers indicate indents in a nesting relationship:</p> <ul> <li>Heading level 1 <ul> <li>Heading level 2: a topic <ul><li>Heading level 3: a subtopic</li></ul></li> <li>Heading level 2: a new topic</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>This heading skipped from level 3 to level 5. From a screen reader, this sounds like content is missing.</p> <p><strong>To fix:</strong> adjust levels to form an accurate outline, without gaps.</p>

   Tool: Editoria11y (Princeton University)

   Rule: headingLevelSkipped

3. The heading h5 (with computed level 5) follows the heading h3 (with computed level 3), skipping 1 heading level.
