Text documents are often broken up into several sections and subsections. Each section is usually prefaced with a
short title or heading that attempts to summarize the topic of the section it precedes. For instance this paragraph
is preceded by the heading Heading Tags. The font of the section headings are usually larger and bolder than their
subsection headings. This document uses headings to introduce topics such as HTML Documents, HTML Tags, Heading
Tags, etc. HTML heading tags can be used to format plain text so that it renders in a browser as large headings.
There are 6 heading tags: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6. Tag h1 is the largest heading and h6 is the smallest heading.
Paragraph Tag
This is a paragraph. We often separate a long set of sentences with vertical spaces to make the text easier to
read. Browsers ignore vertical white spaces and render all the text as one single set of sentences. To force the
browser to add vertical spacing, wrap the paragraphs you want to separate with the paragraph tag
This is the first paragraph. The paragraph tag is used to format vertical gaps between long pieces of text like
this one.
This is the second paragraph. Even though there is a deliberate white gap between the paragraph above and this
paragraph, by default browsers render them as one contiguous piece of text as shown here on the right.
This is the third paragraph. Wrap each paragraph with the paragraph tag to tell browsers to render the gaps.
