HTML Headings
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.

<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important
heading.

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.

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>
