HEADING SIZESweb designer image

Headings are used to indicate your main topics or ideas. Headings make it easier for readers to quickly grasp the main idea without having to read everything in the document. The opening tag for a heading is <h?> and the closing tag is </h?> Replace ? with a number from 1 to 6 (1 being largest, and 6 being smallest).

Note that the "h" tag automatically causes the text to be bold and creates the line spacing that you see below. Example of heading tags...

Heading #1.

<h1>Heading #1.</h1>

Heading #2.

<h2>Heading #2.</h2>

Heading #3.

<h3>Heading #3.</h3>

Heading #4.

<h4>Heading #4.</h4>

Heading #5.

<h5>Heading #5.</h5>

Heading #6.

<h6>Heading #6.</h6>


Remember: the title you typed in your basic page is the file title of your document and it does not appear on your page. Add a title to your page by typing the following within the BODY:


<body>
<h1>Your Title<
/
h1>

Save the changes in Notepad and use the Refresh button of your Internet browser to see the new version of your web page. It should contain the sentences you typed and the title you added to the page.

If anything doesn't look right, check your source language carefully. Be sure you have included the heading number in the heading closing tag.
