12.  Headings:,...,  headings separate major areas of the page (they are block tags) ACT102 Web Page Development Department of Computer Science On-Line Section 40  Each header tag gets smaller or may be styled by the programmer

13.   creates a horizontal line to visually separate sections of a page (blocks) First paragraph Second paragraph  Is self closing with /> 

14.  some tags can contain additional information called attributes syntax: content syntax:  Example with content: Next page  Example without content;
