HTML Headings

HTML Headings have a variety of six sizes!

Heading 1 (Biggest)

(h1)Text Goes Here(/h1)
replace () with <>

Heading 2

(h2)Text Goes Here(/h2)
replace () with <>

And so on until we reach:

Heading 6

(h6)Text Goes Here(/h6)
replace () with <>

the Elements


(p)This Is A Paragraph(/p) Swap The () for the <>
(brk) This is a line break Swap the () for the <>
(hr) This is a horizontal rule Swap the () for <>
(pre)This text is preformatted(/pre) Swap the () for <>
