Tag h2

The h2 tag defines a second-level heading on a webpage. It’s used to mark important subsections under the main h1 heading.


✅ Basic Syntax

<h2>About Our Services</h2>

📍 Result:
A prominent heading, slightly smaller than <h1>, used to organize content into meaningful sections.


📚 Heading Hierarchy

HTML provides six levels of headings:

<h1>Main Title</h1>
<h2>Section Title</h2>
<h3>Subsection Title</h3>
<h4>Smaller Heading</h4>
<h5>Even Smaller</h5>
<h6>Smallest Heading</h6>
  • <h2> comes right after <h1>, and you can have multiple <h2> tags per page.
  • Use <h2> to break content into logical sections beneath the main heading.

🎯 Semantic Importance

The <h2> tag helps:

  • Search engines understand your page structure
  • Screen readers navigate the document easily
  • Users scan content quickly

🎨 Styling Example (CSS)
