Basic Text Elementsin HTML

Text is the backbone of the web, and HTML provides different elements to structure it properly. Three of the most important tags for handling text are:

  • <h1> for headings
  • <p> for paragraphs
  • <span> for inline styling

Let's break them down and see how they work!

Headings: <h1> to <h6>

Headings are used to define the structure of a webpage. The <h1> tag is the most important (main heading), while <h6> is the least important.

<h1>This is an H1 heading</h1>
<h2>This is an H2 heading</h2>
<h3>This is an H3 heading</h3>

SEO Tip

Search engines prioritize <h1> tags, so always use them wisely! Keep them unique and relevant.

Paragraphs: <p>

The <p> tag defines paragraphs in HTML. It automatically adds space before and after the text.

Fun Fact

If you don't use <p>, your text will look like a chaotic blob. Avoid "text soup!"

Inline Text Styling: <span>

The <span> tag is used for styling small parts of text within other elements.

<p>This is a <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">red bold</span> word.</p>

When to Use <span>

Use <span> when you need to style part of a text without breaking its flow.
