2. • h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6 are
headings organized into 6 levels.
• h1 represents the main heading
while the others h2 to h6 are just
subheadings.

3. • The main heading is written in between the
h1 in order for it to show.
• The subheading is also the same writing in
between any of the h2 to h6 tags.

4. • H1 contains the largest text
which is why it is the main
heading.
• h6 is the smallest text.
• Texts inside heading tags are
shown in bold font.

5. • The first and the third line here is an example of h1
because they are the largest headings.
• The second heading in the his example is what h3
looks like and the last one is h2.

6. • In this sample webpage you can see the different sizes of
headings used which was made using h1 to h6 tags with some
style using CSS.
• Notice how “Information is Beautiful” is written big using h1 as the
main heading and below it the text is smaller as the subheading
which is how this tag is used in a webpage.

7. • Other attributes for heading tags is that you
can use styles that specify the alignment of a
heading.
• The style can tell the heading to be
left, center, right or justify.

8. By specifying right, left, center or justify in between the
quotations of align= the heading will be presented in that form.
As you see in the second image the title is centered and the
third line is spaced to the right as directed by this tag.

9. • In this website you can see the use of this align function in
the tag because they have put text in the center and to the
right.
• By adding this to the website they have made more use of
the space using the left side for a link and the right side for
“Web Site of the Month”.

10. • Other attributes used for h1 to h6 is that when you
are using CSS you can assign a color for the text
for specific headings.
• In the example below is shown how for each h1
heading the color will show up as red and h2
heading the color will be orange and etc.

11. • If you see in this webpage the h1 headings are in the color red
and all the h2 is yellow while all the h3 is in blue as it had been
assigned.
• Therefore, this is how a webpage would look like if you assign any
of the h1 to h6 tags with color and it would make it simpler as well
since the colors you assign would automatically show depending
on what h1 to h6 tag you put your text inside of.
