## Modifiers
-### Headings
-
-The content section has two types of optional headings – **content section** and **content block** – that can be turned on and off to fit the layout needs.

-Example of the content section.

-#### Content section heading
-
-Turn off the content section heading to utilize the vertical [table of contents](../components/table-of-contents) component for long form reading experiences that allow the user to quickly navigate through the content.

+### Children
-#### Content block heading
+The content section can accept many different types of child components, which allows designers and authors maximum flexibility when creating page layouts. The most common layouts on IBM.com are 8 column and 12 column components.
-Turn off the content block heading for concise layout samples, this layout works well with the horizontal table of contents component.
+There is no limit to how many child components the content section can accept - consider the story you are trying to tell, the overall hierarchy of the page and how many content sections should be used to break up the content. View the [gallery](#gallery) to see examples of content section with various child components.

+#### 8 column child
-
+In this example the content section is paired with a group of [content item pictograms](../components/content-item) that span the center 8 columns of the grid.

+#### Mixing children widths
-#### 8 column child
+The content section can support mixing of various children and how many columns of the grid the children can span. Most of the Carbon for IBM.com components have been carefully designed with line length, and column usage in mind, and therefore should fit within the columns without alteration.
