Headings and Paragraphs
A tag is a piece of HTML code that tells the browser what type of content to display on the page.
Most tags have an opening tag ‘<>’ and a closing tag ‘</>’. The content is written between these tags.
The <h1> tag is used for the main heading on a page. It is usually the largest heading.
The <h2> tag is used for subheadings. It helps to organise different sections of the page.
<h1>The Solar System</h1> <h2>Mercury</h2>
The <p> tag is used for paragraphs. It displays normal text and starts a new paragraph each time it is used.
<p>Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.</p>
