HTML Heading

Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading.

Importance of Headings

Use <h1> headings as main headings, followed by <h2> headings, then the less important <h3> headings, and so on.
As search engines use headings to index the structure and content of your web pages so use it very wisely in your webpage.
Don't use headings to make text BIG or bold. Use it only for highlighting the heading of your document and to show the document structure.

See this example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Example of HTML headings tag</title>
</head>
<body>
   <h1>Heading 1.</h1>  
   <h2>Heading 2.</h2>  
   <h3>Heading 3.</h3>  
   <h4>Heading 4.</h4>  
   <h5>Heading 5.</h5>  
   <h6>Heading 6.</h6>  
 </body>
</html>
