Headings

Placing text between <H1> and </H1> creates the largest heading and is actually the first of 6 headings available. It is typically used to set apart "sections" of a web page, like a headline of a newspaper, and usually only in descending order. (In other words, a <H1 > </H1> tag set would not be placed lower on the page than a <H2> </H2>)

Headings are some of the most important tags within the BODY of your HTML document. You will usually use a heading to tell what the following section of your page is about. The opening tag for a heading is <hy> and the closing tag is </hy> with y being the size of the heading... from 1 to 6. (1 being largest, and 6 being smallest)

Example of heading tags...


Jaimie went to the dance. [H1]


<h1>Jaimie went to the dance. [H1]</h1>

Jaimie went to the dance. [H2]


<h2>Bob fell over the chicken. [H2]</h2>

Jaimie went to the dance. [H3]


<h3>Jamie went to the dance. [H3]</h3>

Bob fell over the chicken. [H4]

<h4>Jamie went to the dance. [H4]</h4>

Jamie went to the dance. [H5]
<h5>Bob fell over the chicken. [H5]</h5>

Jamie went to the dance. [H6]
<h6>Jamie went to the dance. [H6]</h6>

Here are the headers in descending order.

<H1> Heading 1
<H2> Heading 2
<H3> Heading 3
<H4> Heading 4
<H5> Heading 5
<H6> Heading 6
