Headings: Six Levels Deep

Placing HTML Headings in Your Document

  1. Re-open your workspace (if not already opened).
  2. Go to the text editor window.
  3. Open the HTML text file you created in lesson 2, "volc.html".
  4. First, we will use the tag to display the title as the biggest header, <H1>. Enter the following above the existing body text and after the </head><body> tags: 
    
          <h1>Volcano Web</h1>
  5. Below the text already entered, create other headings for future sections of your Volcano Web page.

    Enter the following headings inside the body of your web page (Note that some are H3 and others are H2 tags): 
    
          <h2>Introduction</h2>

          <h2>Volcano Terminology</h2>

          <h2>Volcanic Places in the USA</h2>

          <h3>Mount St Helens</h3>

          <h3>Long Valley</h3>

          <h2>Volcanic Places on Mars</h2>

          <h2>Research Project</h2>

          <h3>References</h3>
  6. Save changes in your text editor.
  7. Return to your web browser, Open and Reload the HTML file.

    Note that on the computer you are using now, you can use the settings in your web browser to define the fonts and/or size of the headings. For example, on one computer you could have a browser display h1 tags as Times font and 36 point; h2 tags as Helvetica font and 24 point, etc. HTML codes designate only that the headers are of a certain type (h1 to h6); how it is displayed is controlled by the user of the web browser.
