There are six levels of headings within HTML, numbered H1 to H6. Think of your headings in order of importance. H1 is the largest and should be the most important; H6 is the smallest and least important. The font you get when you choose a heading is not in your control. Each browser selects fonts based on the preferences of the person viewing your document.
Heading and paragraph tags create vertical space in your Web document. The exact amount of space is not up to you. Instead, vertical space is controlled by the browser.
