HTML Headings H1-H6

The six heading elements, H1 through H6, denote section headings. Although the order and occurrence of headings is not constrained by the HTML DTD, documents should not skip levels (for example, from H1 to H3), as converting such documents to other representations is often problematic.

Usually the title at the top of a page is the only <H1> tag on the page. All content and heading tags are associated with this <H1>.

Break the main sections of you page up by using the <H2> tag.

Further divide any <H2> tags with sections headed by an <H3> tag and so on.

Be sure you use headings sequentially. Do not use an h4 tag if there is no h3 tag for which it is associated.

You will probably rarely use H4-H6 except for very large pages with much information.

Use css file to style your H tags across your site if you are not satisfied with the master.css default <Hx> styles.
