What term describes the formatting features of a text, including titles, print styles, headings, captions, and white space?

• A. Print styles
• B. White space
• C. Formatting elements
• D. Titles

Answer: (C)

Formatting elements describe how a text looks on the page. They include titles, print styles, headings, captions, and the white space around and between lines and blocks of text. This set of features shapes the document’s appearance and helps readers understand structure and emphasis. The best term for all of these features together is formatting elements, because it covers every aspect of visual presentation mentioned in the question. Other options only point to parts of that presentation: print styles focus on font choices, white space means the empty areas, and titles are just one component, not the whole layout.
