HTML Title

In HTML documents, titles are important.

HTML Title

Heading is defined by <h1> – <h6> tags.

<h1> defines the largest heading. <h6> defines the smallest heading.

<h1>this is a title.</h1>
<h2>this is a title.</h2>
<h3>this is a title.</h3>

Note: Browsers will automatically add blank lines before and after titles.

Titles are important

Be sure to use HTML title tags for titles only. Do not use titles simply to make text bold or large .

Search engines use titles to index the structure and content of your web pages.

Because headings are used by users to quickly scan your web pages, it is important to use headings to present the document structure.

You should use h1 as the main heading (the most important), followed by h2 (the next most important), then h3, and so on.

HTML Horizontal Rule

The <hr> tag creates a horizontal rule in an HTML page.

The hr element can be used to separate content.

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<hr>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<hr>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

HTML Comments

You can insert comments into HTML code to improve its readability and make the code easier to understand. Browsers ignore comments and do not display them.

The annotations are written as follows:

<!--This is a comment-->

Note: An exclamation mark 
! (punctuation mark) is required after the opening bracket (the left bracket 
), but not before the closing bracket (the right bracket). Proper use of comments can help with future code editing.

If you want to find out, just right-click and select “View Source” (IE) or “View Page Source” (Firefox), or similar for other browsers. This will open a window containing the HTML code of the page.
