Headings and Lists


Question- 1) What is a Heading in HTML?

Answer: A HTML heading or HTML h tag is a title or a subtitle which gets displayed on the webpage. When the text is placed within the heading tags <h1>.........</h1>, it gets displayed on the browser in the bold and size of the text depends on the number of heading.

There are six different HTML headings which are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags, from highest level h1 (main heading) to the least level h6 (least important heading).

h1 is the heading tag with largest font and h6 is the tag with smallest font size . So for most important heading h1 is used and for least important h6 is used .

Heading elements are used for headings only. It can't be used just to make text bold or big.

HTML headings are also used with nested elements.
