The visible part of the HTML document is between<body> and ends with</body>
HTML HEADING
A HTML heading or HTML h tag can be defined as a title or a subtitle which you want to display on the webpage .When you place the text within the heading tags <h1>………</h1>, it is displayed on the browser in the bold format and size of the text depends on the number of heading.
There are six different HTML headings which are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.
h1 is the largest heading tag and h6 is the smallest one. So h1 is used for most important heading and h6 is used for least important.
HTML PARAGRAPH
HTML paragraph tags are used to define the HTML paragraph element. The paragraph element begins with the HTML <p> tag and ends with the HTML </p> tag. The HTML paragraph element should not contain tables and other block elements.
