Differentiate between different types of headings in HTML

In HTML, headings are defined using <h1> to <h6> tags, with <h1> being the most important (or largest) and <h6> being the least important (or smallest).

Here’s how you can differentiate between them:

  • <h1>: The most important heading, used for the main title of the page.
  • <h2>: Used for subheadings that come below <h1>.
  • <h3>: Used for further subheadings under <h2>.
  • <h4>: Used for subheadings below <h3>.
  • <h5>: Used for subheadings below <h4>.
  • <h6>: The least important heading, used for minor subheadings.

Here’s a code example to demonstrate:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=”en”>
<head>
<meta charset=”UTF-8″>
<title>HTML Headings</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Main Heading (h1)</h1>
<h2>Subheading (h2)</h2>
<h3>Subheading (h3)</h3>
<h4>Subheading (h4)</h4>
<h5>Subheading (h5)</h5>
<h6>Subheading (h6)</h6>
</body>
</html>
