H tags refelct the document structure. I think of it this way H1 = Chapter Heading
H2 = Section Heading
H3 = Paragraph Heading Using this analogy, I suppose I would use H4 and H5 in a cited block of text that contained headings of its own. WBF

H1 = Chapter Heading
H2 = Section Heading
H3 = Paragraph Heading What I have done is put at the top of each page a bold title for the page and made it in H1 tags. So I should make a smaller title for different subjects, and above those paragraphs make those smaller titles H2 tags? On the H3 tags, how do I use those in a paragraph heading?

Use CSS to make it look as you wish. I have done it many ways. Big, small, right aligned, centered, even in-line with a paragraph. See [w3.org...] and [w3.org...] For some more information about function and form WBF

Think of it as an outline with each page starting at H1. The number after the "H" is the level of indentation so to speak. So this outline:
| Polar Bears I. Regions
....a) North Pole
....b) South Pole II. Mating Habits III. Hibernation |
|
...would translate to this HTML:
<h1>Polar Bears</h1>
<p>some text</p> <h2>Regions</h2>
<p>text about regions</p> ...<h3>North Pole</h3>
...<p>text about north pole</p> ...<h3>South pole</h3>
...<p>text about south pole</p> <h2>Mating Habits</h2>
<p>text about mating habits</p> <h2>Hibernation</h2>
<p>text about hibernation</p> |
|
The H1 only appears once per page and usually matches or closely resembles the <TITLE> tag. H2's are the main sections under H1. H3's are the main sections under the H2's, etc...

Thanks JamesA, The example you have shown is great. I just never tried to use anything but the "H1" tags before. Will try to use them very soon. Thanks everyone for your help.

It seesms that XHTML 2.0 [www-106.ibm.com] will address this problem rather neatly.
