Jonathan Castillo (jcs) 9ab23b7456 [IMP] contributing: modify titles and headings guidelines
The previous guidelines for titles and headings included an exception to
capitalize feature names as they are written in the apps. However, this
exception seems to have confused most writers as it isn't always clear
what should be considered as a feature name or what should be considered
as a noun or noun group. This commit removes this exception to make the
writing and reviewing processes easier while retaining good titles and
improving consistency across the documentation. It also changes the
titles of the Accounting section to provide a better example to other
writers.

=============
Default taxes
=============
**Default Taxes** define which :doc:`taxes <taxes>` are automatically selected when there is no
other indication about which tax to use. For example, Odoo prefills the **Taxes** field with the
Default Taxes when you create a new product or add a new line on an invoice.

.. important::
:doc:`Fiscal Positions <fiscal_positions>` take the Default Tax into account. Therefore, if a
Fiscal Position is applied to an invoice, Odoo applies the related tax instead of the Default
Taxes, as mapped in the Fiscal Position.
Configuration
=============
**Default Taxes** are automatically set up according to the country selected at the creation of your
database, or when you set up a :doc:`Fiscal Localization Package
<../../fiscal_localizations/overview/fiscal_localization_packages>` for your company.
To change your **Default Taxes**, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings
--> Taxes --> Default Taxes`, select the appropriate taxes for your default **Sales Tax** and
**Purchase Tax**, and click on *Save*.
