h Tag

The <h> tag, defined from <h1> to <h6>, is used to define the heading elements of a document.

h Tags are used to establish a hierarchy on a web page and to indicate the importance of content.

<h1> denotes the most critical, high-level large heading, while <h6> represents the least important and smallest heading.

For example, the h1 tag can be used as follows:

h1 Tag Example
<h1>Hello</h1>

The HTML code example above displays "Hello" as the most prominent heading level.

The opening tag <h1> signifies the start of a large heading, and the closing tag </h1> signifies its end.

Note that tag names are case-insensitive. Thus, both <h1> and <H1> are recognized the same by web browsers.

However, it is conventional to write tags in lowercase, so it is recommended to write <h1> rather than <H1>.

For search engine optimization (SEO), it is best to include only one h1 tag per webpage.


Follow the highlighted sections in the code to practice.
