<h1>–<h6>
Headings of six levels: `<h1>` is the main one, `<h6>` the smallest.
Syntax
<h1>Heading</h1>Examples
Headings of different levels:
<h1>Coffee guide</h1>
<h2>Espresso drinks</h2>
<h3>Cappuccino</h3>
<p>Espresso with steamed milk foam.</p>Change the size in CSS, keep the level by meaning:
<style>
h2.small { font-size: 16px; text-transform: uppercase; color: gray; }
</style>
<h2 class="small">Latest news</h2>
<p>The level stays h2 even though it looks small.</p>Notes
A page usually has one <h1> — its main heading. Do not skip levels: <h2> is followed by <h3>, not <h5>. Pick the level by the place in the text structure, not by the font size you want — screen readers navigate by headings and search engines rely on them.
