Heading

Indicates the title for elements that normally do not have a title (such as image, lablist, list, and otherfront) or have a default title (such as note, caution and warning).

Syntax. 

   <element><head>title text

A heading starts with the first non-blank character after the <head> tag. The <head> tag can appear on the same line as the element to which a heading is being added, or on the following line.

The <head> element can be used with elements that expect a title, but it is not required in those cases.

Headings that are wider than the heading area are automatically wrapped onto successive lines. To force a specific line break, put a backslash (\) where you want the line to break.

A heading ends at the end of the line in the source file unless the line ends with an ampersand (&). If a heading spans multiple lines in your source file, put an ampersand after all the lines except the last.

The <\head> end tag is not required.

Examples.  The following markup adds a title to a list and specifies the start of a new line where the backslash appears:

   <list><head>Printing Options\for the QRZ Hardware

The following markup overrides the default "Note" heading. The ampersand (&) indicates that the heading continues on the following line.

   <note><head>Tips&

   & Traps

   Take special note of this.

   <\note>
