Paragraph list

Headings are also important for readers.
A heading is a title that describes the following section of a text.
Headings are important because they keep writing organized.
When writers are writing long texts, such as long academic essays or dense blog posts, using headings helps them outline how they will organize their argument.
The headings tell the reader what each section of the text is about, making it easier to read through a long, dense text.
