There are six different headers in HTML.
Viewed with a graphics browser, header 1 is the most prominent, and header 6 is the least prominent. Header one is displayed in a very large font, while 6 is displayed in a tiny one.
Lynx has only fixed-size fonts, so it cannot change the size for emphasis. Instead, Lynx shows the Headers in different positions on the screen, to show their relative importance.
Viewed with Lynx, Header 1 is automatically centered.
The others are all offset from the left side of the screen, Header 2 is nearest the left edge and Header 6 is offset most.
Usually, only headers 1 through 3 are used. Headers are used as headings for various sections of a document. They help keep the document organized for the viewer.
