HTML provides not only plain paragraph tags but six separate header tags to indicate headings of various sizes and thicknesses. Enumerated as heading 1 through heading 6, heading 1 has the largest and thickest text while heading 6 is the smallest and thinnest, down to the paragraph level. This topic details the proper usage of these tags.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Using Headings<\/h2>\n\n

Headings can be used to describe the topic they precede and they are defined with the <h1><\/em><\/strong> to <h6><\/em><\/strong> tags. Headings support all global attributes.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. <h1><\/em><\/strong> defines the most important heading.<\/li>\n
  2. <-h6> <\/em><\/strong>defines the least important heading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Defining a heading:<\/h2>\n\n
    <h1>Heading 1<\/h1>\n<h2>Heading 2<\/h2>\n<h3>Heading 3<\/h3>\n<h4>Heading 4<\/h4>\n<h5>Heading 5<\/h5>\n<h6>Heading 6<\/h6><\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Correct structure matters<\/h4>\n\n
    Search engines<\/strong> and other user agents<\/strong> usually index page content based on heading elements, for example, to create a table of contents, so using the correct structure for headings is important.<\/p>\n\n
    In general, an article should have one h1 element for the main title followed by h2 subtitles \u2013 going down a layer if necessary. If there are h1 elements on a higher level they shouldn’t be used to describe any lower level content.<\/p>\n\n
    Example document (extra intendation to illustrate hierarchy):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
    <h1>Main title<\/h1>\n<p>Introduction<\/p>\n   <h2>Reasons<\/h2>\n      <h3>Reason 1<\/h3>\n      <p>Paragraph<\/p>\n      <h3>Reason 2<\/h3>\n      <p>Paragraph<\/p>\n   <h2>In conclusion<\/h2>\n   <p>Paragraph<\/p><\/code><\/pre>\n\n
