HTML headings are titles or subtitles that you want to display on a webpage.
Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Heading 4 Heading 5 Heading 6
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading.
<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.
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. headings should be used for main headings, followed by headings, then the less important , and so on.
Note: Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text BIG or bold.
Each HTML heading has a default size. However, you can specify the size for any heading with the attribute, using the CSS property:
<h1 style="font-size:60px;">Heading 1</h1>
W3Schools' tag reference contains additional information about these tags and their attributes.
