Heading elements and paragraph elements are one of the most common ways to make your content more meaningful (semantic). When you have a main topic, you'll use the h1 element. When you have a sub-topic of a topic, you'll start to use the h2 thru h6 elements--however, we want to use those sub-topic elements correctly; I have students that use them out of order just to get the "look" they're wanting to achieve.

Paragraph elements are probably the most common HTML element you'll use for your text. The paragraph element--just as if we were writing--helps us to divide our sentences into groups. After each closing paragraph tag, we get something similar to a "hard return" in a word processing document (or on a typewriter). Note: paragraph elements can only contain inline-level elements.
