<h5>Heading 5</h5>
<h6>Heading 6</h6>

Headings Are Important

Search engines use the headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.

Users often skim a page by its headings. It is important to use headings to show the document structure.

<h1> headings should be used for main headings, followed by <h2> headings, then the less important <h3>, and so on.

Bigger Headings

Each HTML heading has a default size. However, you can specify the size for any heading with the style attribute, using the CSS font-size property:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1 style=”font-size:60px;”>Heading 1</h1>

<p>You can change the size of a heading with the style attribute, using the font-size property.</p>

</body>
</html>
