Changing the formatting for Headings 1-4 within our course page

[LisaGrinling]

Hi there
Wanted to know if there was a way we can change the preset fonts and colours within the Headings 1-4 within our course pages so they can align more with our organisation (rather than having to change them each time we are creating content)?

thanks

Hello @LisaGrinling 

From the Rich Content Editor, you can definitely modify the Text style of the headings, as well as edit the color of the text. It also allows you to enter in custom RGB color codes if you need. 

There is not a way to edit the default settings for the RCE headers when users setup pages, from what I can see. It might be possible to do this with Custom CSS. Custom CSS can be a bit tricky, unless you know what you are doing when you create it. 

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks Colton, appreciate your email.  We are however, seeking a way to edit the default settings to Heading styles rather than having to do this in each course page.  Will look into the custom CSS option thank you.

It is a preposterous situation. The rules for accessibility are going so crazy, trying to push us to using headers and bullets, which I'm happy to do, but no one can choose what the headers display like or make the bullets space well vertically. It is super-ugly and bad for all students. The idiotic Canvas system forces you to use single spacing for all lists and gets mad if you get around that by using your own numbering instead of using formal lists (once again due to extremely trivial idealization for accessibility). If accessibility matters, as it should, then Canvas folks need to give instructors the right tools. We should also be able to use underscoring. Bold and italics are just inadequate for really controling the emphases to get students to really notice things the right way. It is insane that accessibility ratings are trying to dissuade against underlines. If any screen reader has an issue with it, that's easily fixed by screen reader companies (about a $10 fix, honestly, very simple code surely). If persons with poor vision who don't use screen readers are having trouble seeing anything, well every single web browser has a handy magnification tool. In face-to-face classes, there are FAR less stringent rules for physical hand-outs on fonts, underlines, and all that. I don't see why the double-standard on the most trivial kinds of accessibility tweaks for one modality and not for the other.
