Heading elements are block level elements that can be used directly as a sub-element in the body element. You can use heading elements to specify heading in different sizes. Here are basic rules about heading elements:
- There are 6 heading elements, named as "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", and "h6".
- Heading elements are mixed content elements.
- Heading elements can have empty contents.
- Heading elements can have PCDATA as contents.
- Heading elements can have in-line elements as contents.
- Heading elements can not have block elements as contents.
- Heading elements are block elements. They can not be used as in-line elements.
