HTML <h6> element

The <h6> element represents a sixth-level heading, the lowest rank among HTML's six numbered heading elements. It normally introduces a subsection within a section headed by <h5>. For example, instructions for "64-bit builds" could include a "Checksum verification" subsection using <h6>.

Several <h6> headings can introduce subsections at this same level. When those subsections end, a heading of a higher rank can introduce the next topic. HTML has no <h7> element; continuing the numerical tag names does not create additional heading elements.

As at other levels, advance one rank at a time when introducing deeper subsections. Returning to a higher rank can cross several levels when those subsections have ended. The <h6> element encloses its heading text, with the subsection's content following it. Browsers normally give it a small, bold appearance, but CSS can change this presentation without changing its meaning as a heading.
