Example <h1>Heading 1</h1> <h2>Heading 2</h2> <h3>Heading 3</h3><h4>Heading 4</h4><h5>Heading 5</h5><h6>Heading 6</h6> Note: Browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a heading. Headings Are Important Search engines use the headings to index the structure and content of your web pages. Users often skim a page by its headings. It is important to use headings to show the document structure. <h1> headings should be used for main headings, followed by <h2> headings, then the less important <h3>, and so on. For example: <h1> - Page title <h2> - Section titles <h3> - Sub-sections Example <h1>Travel Guide</h1> <h2>Europe</h2> <h3>France</h3> <h3>Italy</h3> <h2>Asia</h2> <h3>India</h3> <h3>Thailand</h3> Tip: Use only one <h1> per page - it represents the main topic or title. Note: Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text BIG or bold. Bigger Headings Each HTML heading has a default size. However, you can specify the size for any heading with the style attribute, using the CSS font-size property: Example <h1 style="font-size:60px;">Heading 1</h1> HTML Tag Reference W3Schools' tag reference contains additional information about these tags and their attributes.
