HTML Heading

HTML headings are used to define the heading or title of a section on a web page. Headings are important for creating a logical structure and hierarchy of content on a web page, making it easier for users to navigate and understand the content.

There are six levels of headings in HTML, ranging from <h1> (the most important heading) to <h6> (the least important). The syntax for creating a heading in HTML is to use the corresponding heading element, such as <h1> for a top-level heading, and then include the text you want to display within the opening and closing tags.

HTML headings with examples and explanation

Heading level 1 <h1>


      <h1>This is a top-level heading</h1>

The above code will create a top-level heading, which is typically used for the main title of a web page.

Heading level 2 <h2>


      <h2>This is a subheading</h2>

This code creates a subheading, which is used for section headings that are nested within the top-level heading.

Heading level 3 <h3>


      <h3>This is a sub-subheading</h3>

This code creates a sub-subheading, which is used for section headings that are nested within a subheading.

Example of using all six levels of headings 

    <h1>This is a top-level heading</h1>
    <h2>This is a subheading</h2>
    <h3>This is a sub-subheading</h3>
    <h4>This is a sub-sub-subheading</h4>
    <h5>This is a sub-sub-sub-subheading</h5>
    <h6>This is a sub-sub-sub-sub-subheading</h6>

It's important to Avoid using multiple <h1> elements on one page, use headings correctly and ensure that the heading levels follow a logical hierarchy. This not only helps users navigate your content more easily, but it also helps search engines understand the structure and importance of your content.
