Introduction to Headings

Headings are text that is bigger and bolder than the text around it. Headings are a lot like headlines in newspapers. They give a summary of the upcoming section and mark where one part of a page ends and another begins.

Headings come in different sizes. These sizes are referred to as levels. The lower the heading level, the bigger and bolder A text. A lower heading level may also mean that it is more generl or important. Listen for the heading levels when reading the recipe below.

Using Headings To Move Around a Web Page

Headings can be used to jump around to different parts of a page. When you are on a web page and type the letter h, you will go to the next heading on that page. Do this now to skip past a lot of jibberish. bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
