HTML Headings

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

<h1> defines the most important heading in page structure. <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: Latest Browsers automatically add some white space gap(a margin) before and after a heading.

Headings Are Very Important

Search engines like Google use the headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.

Users often skim a page by its headings. It is very important to use headings to show the document structure in user friendly way.

<h1> headings should be used for main headings, followed by <h2> headings, then the less important <h3>, and so on.

Note: HTML headings must be used for headings only. Don’t use headings to make text BIG or bold.

Bigger Headings

Each HTML heading has a default predefined size. However, you can specify the size for any heading. You can use style attribute, using the CSS font-size property:

Example

<h1 style=”font-size:60px;”>Heading 1</h1>
