Lesson 2: Text Formatting and Headings in HTML5

1. Headings in HTML

Headings help structure a webpage and range from <h1> (largest) to <h6> (smallest).

Example:

<h1>Main Heading</h1>
<h2>Subheading</h2>
<h3>Section Title</h3>
<h4>Subsection</h4>
<h5>Smaller Subsection</h5>
<h6>Smallest Heading</h6>

Usage Rules:

✔ Use only one <h1> per page (for SEO and accessibility).
✔ Headings should follow a logical hierarchy.
✔ Do not use headings just for styling; use them for content organization.

2. Paragraphs and Line Breaks

The <p> tag is used for paragraphs, while <br> is for line breaks.

Example:

<p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>


<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
<p>This is a line <br> with a break.</p>

🔹 <br> vs. <p>: Use <br> inside paragraphs for single line breaks, but separate
topics with <p>.

3. Text Formatting Tags

HTML provides several tags to style text:


Tag Description Example
<b> Bold(without emphasis) <b>Bold text</b>
<strong> Bold(with importance) <strong>Important
text</strong>
<i> Italic(without emphasis) <i>Italic text</i>
<em> Italic(with emphasis) <em>Emphasized
text</em>
<u> Underline <u>Underlined text</u>
<mark> Highlight text <mark>Highlighted
text</mark>
<small> Smaller text <small>Small
text</small>
<del> Strikethrough text <del>Deleted
text</del>
<ins> Inserted/Underlined text <ins>Inserted
text</ins>
<sub> Subscript text H<sub>2</sub>O
<sup> Superscript text x<sup>2</sup>

4. Lists in HTML
Unordered List (<ul>)

Displays bullet points.

<ul>
<li>Apples</li>
<li>Bananas</li>
<li>Cherries</li>
</ul>

Ordered List (<ol>)

Displays numbered items.

<ol>
<li>First item</li>
<li>Second item</li>
<li>Third item</li>
</ol>

Definition List (<dl>)
