1️⃣ Headings in HTML

HTML provides 6 levels of headings:

<h1>This is Heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is Heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is Heading 3</h3>
<h4>This is Heading 4</h4>
<h5>This is Heading 5</h5>
<h6>This is Heading 6</h6>

👉 <h1> is the largest heading
👉 <h6> is the smallest heading

Headings are important for structure and SEO.

2️⃣ Paragraph Tag

The paragraph tag is used to write text content.

<p>This is a paragraph in HTML.</p>

Every paragraph starts with <p> and ends with </p>.

---

3️⃣ Line Break Tag

If you want to break a line without starting a new paragraph, use <br>.

<p>Hello<br>World</p>

<br> does not need a closing tag.

4️⃣ Horizontal Line

The <hr> tag creates a horizontal line.

<hr>

It is used to separate content sections.

5️⃣ Bold and Italic Text

You can make text bold or italic using:

<b>Bold Text</b>
<i>Italic Text</i>
<strong>Important Text</strong>
<em>Emphasized Text</em>

👉 <strong> and <em> are better for SEO and meaning.
