  • by

In this post, we will learn about HTML headings and HTML paragraphs , which are among the most important HTML tags. But before we begin the explanation, we would like to welcome our dear website visitors. Welcome!

Defining headings in HTML:

HTML headings consist of six levels. The <h1> tag is the highest level, while the <h6> tag is the lowest. h stands for (Heading). Headings are considered (block elements).

How to write headings in the editor:

<h1>Title Content</h1>
<h2>Title Content</h2>
<h3>Title Content</h3>
<h4>Title Content</h4>
<h5>Title Content</h5>
<h6>Title Content</h6>

The correct way to use headings:

It’s important to know that heading order is crucial when using HTML headings. If the main heading is <h1>, then the subheading should be <h2>. For a better understanding, see the code below.

<h1>Learn Programming</h1>
<h2>Web Application Development</h2>
<h2>Desktop Application Development</h2>
<h2>Mobile Application Development</h2>

Notice: that the title “Learn Programming” is the main title, and the other titles are subheadings. If you look closely at the articles I write, you will find the same idea.
