# Custom paragraph markers

 * We have a number of pages which use shortcodes to produce headers and formatting.
   For example:
 *     ```
       <div>
        <h2> Frequently asked questions </h2>
        [faqentry title="What is your question?"]<p>This is my answer</p>[/faqentry]
        [faqentry title="What is your question?"]<p>This is my answer</p>[/faqentry]
        [faqentry title="What is your question?"]<p>This is my answer</p>[/faqentry]
       </div>
       ```
   
 * The [faqentry] shortcode produces a nice box, includes a <h3> tag and outputs
   the content. However Yoast doesn’t know this and instead says “1 subheading is
   followed by more than the recommended maximum of 300 words. Try to insert another
   subheading.” when we have a handful of these together. It clearly is aggregating
   all of the FAQ entries as there is no <h#> tag.
 * Is there a Yoast option/filter where we can mark certain shortcodes as producing
   headings or as new paragraphs so that we don’t have this error and can go ‘green’
   on our readability analysis? Unfortunately every one of our pages ‘needs improvement’
   with this area due to a FAQ area on every page.

 * You can find all Yoast filters [here](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/api/).
 * If there’s nothing you can use there, you can just disregard the warning as you
   shouldn’t be tempted to get all green bullets. Marieke explained more about it
