subheading

Smaller chapter label

A subheading is a heading that divides a section of text into smaller parts, subordinate to the main heading above it.

Subheadings help readers navigate longer documents by signaling topic shifts: The chapter on nutrition had subheadings for proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

In journalism, a subheading often appears between the headline and the article body.
