Headings and Text

Headings and paragraphs aren’t just decoration — they help respondents understand what your form is about and what each section covers.

Adding headings

There are three heading sizes:

HeadingSlash commandMarkdown shortcutKeyboard shortcut
Large heading (H1)/h1# + spaceAlt/Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + 1
Medium heading (H2)/h2## + spaceAlt/Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + 2
Small heading (H3)/h3### + spaceAlt/Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + 3

The Markdown shortcut is the quickest — just type # followed by a space at the beginning of a line, and the line turns into a heading.

Adding paragraphs

Just start typing. Any text you type in the editor becomes a paragraph by default. You can also use /paragraph from the slash commands.

When to use headings

  • Top of the form — use a large heading to tell respondents what the form is about
  • Section breaks — use medium or small headings to introduce groups of related fields
  • Page titles — in multi-page forms, add a heading at the top of each page for context

Formatting

All text formatting works inside headings and paragraphs — bold, italic, links, highlights, and more. See Text Formatting.
