HTML Heading

An HTML heading is used to define headings of a web page or section of content. They help structure and organize content so that it can easilybe read and navigated. They are defined with six heading tags, including <h1> up to <h6>; <h1> should be the most important headingwhile <h6> has the least importance and denotes subtitles or minor headings.

Examples of HTML Headings:

<h1>This is a heading level 1</h1>
<h2>This is a heading level 2</h2>
<h3>This is a heading level 3</h3>
<h4>This is a heading level 4</h4>
<h5>This is a heading level 5</h5>
<h6>This is a heading level 6</h6>

Semantic significance: Use headings to outline your content in a meaningful way. For example:
<h1>: Page title
<h2>: Headings of sections
<h3>: Headings of subsections
SEO: Search engines read headings to know the structure of the content of a webpage
Accessibility: Screen readers use headings to guide visually impaired users to navigate through the content
Best Practices: Never skip levels. Avoid going directly from <h1> to <h3> because it may confuse users and search engines.
