Question: What is an HTML Heading?
Answer:
Heading tags are the simplest way to divide up your document. If you think of your site as a newspaper, then the headings are the headlines on the newspaper. The main headline is an h1 and subsequent headings are h2 through h6.
To create an XHTML heading, surround the text you want as your heading with one of the following heading tags - as demonstrated.
<h1>This is Heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is Heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is Heading 3</h3>
<h4>This is Heading 4</h4>
<h5>This is Heading 5</h5>
<h6>This is Heading 6</h6>
Some things to remember:
- All browsers display headings differently
- Try to keep your headings in a logical order
- Headings put in line breaks for you, so you don't have to worry about using <p></p> and <br /> tags.
