They are probably referring to run-in headings. Those are headings that
start at the beginning of a paragraph, are sometimes all caps, are
usually bolded, and end with a period, like this (except I can't bold):
My Run-in Heading. A run-in heading starts at the beginning of a
paragraph . . .

OK, I've finally found instructions that drive me crazy. I'm formatting
a paper for publication and the instructions to authors states:
"All text should be formatted in a run-in style (do not use columns)."
