This page is part of the WebCom Web Publishing Guide. It demonstrates the use of the heading tag in an HTML document.

There are six levels of headings. The bigger the number, the smaller the size of the resulting text (using a graphical browser). Examples of all six levels, and an example of normal text, are provided below, followed by the tags that produce them. Headings are used to logically organize a page into separate sections for easier comprehension. Lower level headings in turn subdivide each section.

Headings automatically create space between them and any text preceeding or following them. Therefore text blocks immediately following them, such as this one, do not need to have paragraph <P></P> tags around them.
