Headings and paragraphs
HTML headings
HTML has six headings : <h1>, <h2>,<h3>,<h4>,<h5> and <h6>.
Different headings have different importance and different size.
<h1> is the bigger and most important heading whereas <h6> is the smaller and less important heading.
Thus the order is: <h1> > <h2> > <h3> > <h4> > <h5> > <h6>.
It is important to use headings to represent the document structure. For example the main title should be within an <h1> tag, a title within <h2> tag and a subtitle will be within an <h3> tag.
Here we should note, that as described in the word, headings should be used only for headings. You should not use headings to make words bigger. Later in the course, we will learn how to make words appear bigger.
HTML Paragraphs
Paragraphs in an HTML are defined by the <p> element. Paragraphs are used within the <body> element and have a start <p>and an end tag. </p>.
It is important to note that by default, browsers leave some white space before and after a paragraph so that it is distinct from neighboring paragraphs. Every paragraph starts at a new line. Inside the <p> element you cannot format the appearance of your content by applying extra whitespaces or line breaks within a paragraph. Browser will remove these from the displaying page.
