The <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and <h6> elements are used to define headings.

Description

The order of heading elements is important. HTML 4.01 defines the following heading elements:

<h1>: The most important, or highest-level heading
<h2>: The second most important, or secondary heading
<h3>: A tertiary heading
<h4>, <h5>, and <h6>: Lower-level headings



Only use one <h1> per page. Use the other heading elements to break up the text and make it more readable.

Example

```html
<head>
  &lt/title>HTML Headings</title>
&<style>
  h1 {
    color: DodgerBlue;
    font-size: 5em;
    margin-bottom: 0.67em;
  }
h2 {
    color: Tomatoes;
    font-size: 3em;
    margin-top: 0.83em;
  }
</style>
<h1><strong>Heading 1</strong></h1>
<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<h3>Heading 3</h3>
&

&<h4>Heading 4</h4>
&

& <H5>Heading 5</h5>
&

&<h6>Heading 6</h6>
</body>
```
