Note: Browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a heading.
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.
Note: Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text
BIG or bold.
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
<h1
style="font-size:60px;">Heading 1</h1>
