I would like to see additonal heading level options in StoryMaps. I work for the US government and under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, we are required to conform to WCAG 2.0 (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) for accessibility. The WCAG Success Criteria that is difficult to meet because of the limited heading levels available is:
- 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are available in text. (Level A)
In plain language related to headings, 1.3.1 means that if it looks like a heading it should also be programmed as a heading and vice versa. With the current StoryMap setup, we are only allowed three heading levels (StoryMap title and the Heading and Subheading text options). If we need more headings to organize content, altering text to make it look like a heading would not pass this Success Criteria. Users of certain assistive technology would not be notified that it is a heading and would not get the structure and relationships that are portrayed visually.
Adding more heading levels would help us meet this criteria.
Thank you for your consideration.
