Subheadings:
Subheadings are an important feature of online writing. The process for writing subheadings is very similar to writing headings. Subheadings alert readers to upcoming subtopics, help them find their way around in long reports, and break up lengthy stretches of straight text. Subheadings should be very short and to the point.

Email headings:
The shortest heading is essential in email. Browser setups can vary enormously, and a recipient may only see the first few words of your heading. Online, it's as easy to delete an email as it is to open it.

Font format:
increase the font size so that it is bigger than the font in the document
make the heading stand out by using bold or another color
leave 2-3 blank lines between the heading and the first line of text
