HTML
Headings
Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.
<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines
the least important heading.
Headings are important in HTML
documents.
Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text BIG or bold.
Search engines use your headings to index the structure and
content of your web pages.
Since users may skim your pages by its headings, it is important
to use headings to show the document structure.
H1 headings should be used as main headings, followed by H2
headings, then the less important H3 headings, and so on.
Description HTML Headings
A heading
in HTML is just what you might expect, a title or subtitle.
By
placing text inside of <h1> (heading) tags, the text displays bold and
the size of the text depends on the number of heading (1-6). Headings are
numbered 1-6, with 1 being the largest heading and 6 being the smallest.
1.
Heading tags will be
recognised by browsers which don't recognise style sheets (or use a
user-defined style sheet).
2.
Heading tags are used by
search engines to identify words which are more important than the rest of the
page text. The theory is that headings will sum up the topic of the page, so
they are counted as important keywords.
3.
Screen readers and
magnifiers (for the visually impaired) rely on headings to navigate the page.
4.
Heading tags make it
easy to make global changes to headings. Although you could theoretically
achieve this by defining a new css class, it makes more sense and tends to be
easier to define a style for heading tags.
Example
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>This
is heading 1</h1>
<h2>This
is heading 2</h2>
<h3>This
is heading 3</h3>
<h4>This
is heading 4</h4>
<h5>This
is heading 5</h5>
<h6>This
is heading 6</h6>
<p><b>Tip:</b>
Use the <h1> to <h6> tags only for headings. Do not
use them just to make something bold. Use other tags for that.</p>
</body>
</html>
