Rise Subheading Not H3 in WAVE

My team and I are developing courses in Rise. Upon reviewing the structure using WAVE, I see the subheading with paragraph block is not registering as H3. Paragraph text that is assigned H3 is registering correctly. Are we using the subheading with paragraph block inappropriately?

  • The same issue is happening with the text block for heading with paragraph text. The H2 is not registering.

    Erin, I noticed this also. If you look at the html in the 'paragraph with Subheading' block, the subheading is actually wrapped inside a <p> paragraph tag which is nested way within the <h3> tag. I would flag this an html error, it doesn't make sense. What I had to do was stop using the subheading blocks, insteaduse a regular paragraph block and change the paragraphs to headings, then the html doesn't have this nesting issue/error.

      Thank you. This is the same solution we've implemented. It's cumbersome, but it works.

  • Hi there ErinHugus-6830b​ PhilFoss​! Appreciate you both sharing this. Upon testing, I do see that WAVE is registering both heading and subheading correctly on published output, but not in preview. We do encourage accessibility testing on published courses whether that's using a Quick Share link, publishing to LMS, or to web. 

    Is this behavior something you've noticed on your published output?

      Thank you. We are using the Quick Share link with the WAVE tool. We're seeing the same html issue as described in the reply above. Our workaround is to not use the heading and subheading text blocks.
