ABSTRACT
Formal and informative headings Usually, it helps if you make generous use of headings and sub-headings. Headings break text into manageable sections, and help by increasing the ‘white space’ around the blocks of type, especially when the type is single-spaced. They also act as signposts, pointing out what is to be found in each section. Formal headings such as Problem, or Experimental, or Discussion are neither informative nor useful, because they do not focus attention on the essence of the following paragraphs. Better headings, such as Updating Operation Flow Charts or The Influence of Sunlight on Linings, convey real information about the content of the section.
