Unless otherwise specified, headings are displayed using a larger size of the default font. There are five levels of heading, each using a slightly smaller font size. The range of headings usually look something like this:

HTML:      Displayed As:

Heading 1

  Heading 1

Heading 2

  Heading 2

Heading 3

  Heading 3

Heading 4

  Heading 4
Heading 5
  Heading 5

Using these variations, we can create a page with headings and sub-headings like so:

HTML:      Displayed As:

Main Heading

First paragraph content.

  First Paragraph content.

Sub Heading

  Sub Heading

Second paragraph content.

etc...
