[EuiCallout][COGNITION]: Document consumer responsibility with `header` prop
Description
@cchaos and @1Copenut were discussing the callout heading prop defaulting to a P tag in PR #5870 5870. We opted to leave the default as a P tag for now and open an exploratory ticket for improved awareness. We want consuming applications to be aware callouts should have a relevant heading that is properly nested (H4 if under an H3 for example) when it makes sense.
Making sure callouts have proper headings is especially important if the text is styled in such a way as to suggest prominence or greater importance than paragraph text.
There are two items we'd like to look at specifically:
- Callout guidance in the
EuiCalloutdocs page outlining why a properly nested heading is important for assistive technology. I'll list some relevant links below. - Making the
headingprop required by consuming apps in the future. This feels like a good defensive coding strategy. It also has potential to be a breaking change.
Guidance
- Understanding Success Criterion 1.3.1: Info and Relationships
- Heading off confusion: When do headings fail WCAG?
So labeled! I appreciate the size of the task, and that moving this ahead will require coordination and a good plan.
