heading

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'title' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for heading that I've seen before include "Hide nag (anag.)" , "Bearing, direction" , "Caption - direction" , "Being in front of" , "Line of text at the top of an article" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
