Subheadings
Definition
Subheadings are any secondary emphasised text between the title and body of a piece.
Effect on reader
They are often used to make a piece more straightforward for the reader as they organise information. A piece that is easy to follow may make the writing appear more logical, in turn lending credibility to the argument or writer. Subheadings can also be visually appealing as they break up what is otherwise a large slab of text.
