Headline

The header is one type of HTML markup language element. Its function is to organise the structure of a web page, which is also important from the viewpoint of search engine optimisation. In addition, the use of headings (e.g. subtitles) makes content more readable and attractive.

HTML distinguishes between several types of headings, which are implemented on the page using the following tags: <hx> opening tag and </hx> closing tag. In this case, the letter x is followed by a number (from 1 to 6) which indicates the hierarchy level of the element. The higher it is, the less relevant the heading is and by default it is displayed in a smaller font.
