This plugin stimulates WordPress editors to use correct headings for accessibility and seo. The heading tags are on the second row and hidden in the WYSIWYG editor in WordPress by default. The (non visual) text edit screen has no heading tag buttons at all. 
Editors will make heading bold instead of using the correct heading while the use of correct (nested) heading is important for accessibility and seo. 
This plugin add the format menu with heading tags in the first row of the WYSIWYG editor and add heading tags to the text editor.
Accessibility
[Section 508](<a href=”http://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/Standards/Section508/) states that your largest header must be an <code><h1></code> followed by an other <code><h1></code> or a subordinate heading element (h2 to h6). The structure of the headers should reflex the structure of your document. So the heading structure should be logically nested. Screen readers read this semantic heading structure to construct a table of contents. Screen readers don’t use any formatted style. Visual readers use the formatted style in stead of the semantic structure. See also: <a href="http://accessibility.psu.edu/headings" rel="nofollow ugc">http://accessibility.psu.edu/headings</a>.
SEO
<blockquote>
When the importance of a heading is established with HTML tags, you’re actually making it easy for the search engine robots to determine what your web page is all about. The search engine doesn’t have to guess at it. It can see exactly what your main topic is and place you under the appropriate keywords so your potential customers will be able to find you on the WWW.

Stimulate Correct Headings

This plugin stimulates WordPress editors to use correct headings for accessibility and seo.

If your subheadings appear on archive pages, they need to start from H3 (because H2 tags are used by the post titles on archive pages).
This plugin dynamically corrects subheadings before they are displayed on your site — for SEO and semantic markup purposes.
You will be able to select one of the following two options (the first one being the default):
<ul>
<li>
My subheadings start from the H2 level: turn them down a level on archive pages. 
H2’s become H3’s, H3’s become H4’s, H4’s become H5’s, H5’s become H6’s and H6’s become paragraphs
</li>
<li>
My subheadings start from the H3 level: turn them up a level on single posts or pages. 
H3’s become H2’s, H4’s become H3’s, H5’s become H4’s and H6’s become H5’s
</li>
</ul>
This plugin does not make any changes to your database: the subheadings will only be displayed differently on the front-end site. 
If you disable the plugin or decide to uninstall it everything will be back to normal.
