   Introduction

This  session  discusses  the  basic HTML tags  such as Header  tag,  Paragraph level  tags  and  Block Tags. The session also discusses Lists and   how to use images in HTML documents.

3.1 Headings

This  element  is used  to provide  a  heading for  the  contents  displayed  on  the  Web page.  All the heading elements must have an end tag. It starts with <H1> and ends with </H1>

The heading is displayed bigger and bolder, so   that they stand   out from the regular text. We can  display  a heading  in  one  of   the  six  sizes, from  H1  to  H6.  All we have   to do is specify the   size, H1, H2 and    so on. The browser takes care of the display.
