Checkpoint 2.2

1. The heading tag is used to display headings and subheadings of documents. The
   size of the heading is configured with the particular heading level used—ranging
   from 1 to 6.

   is the largest heading.

   is the smallest heading. Text con-
   tained between heading tags will be displayed using a bold font and will have a
   line break above and below.



2. Information on a Web page can be organized using ordered lists and unordered
   lists. Unordered lists display a small symbol or bullet in front of each item. Use
   the
   tag to configure an unordered list. Ordered lists by default display a
   sequence of numbers in front of each item. Use the
   tag to configure an
   ordered list. Configure individual items in both ordered and unordered lists using
   the
   1. tag.
   
   
   2. The purpose of the blockquotetag is to indent a section of text on a Web page.

   1. Physical file tags such as describe font instructions rather than general styles
      for the presentation of information. The Web is accessed by many applications
      other than regular browsers. For example, a screen reader may interpret
      to indicate that the text should be spoken stronger than normal.
   
   
   2. Special characters are used to display items such as quotation marks, greater than
      (>), less than (<), and the copyright symbol © on a Web page. These special char-
      acters, sometimes called entity characters, are interpreted by the browser when
      the page is rendered.
   
   
   3. Use an absolute link to display a Web page document from a Web site other than
      your own. The http protocol is used in the hrefvalue. Example:
      Google
   
   
   4. Use a relative link to display a Web page document from your Web site. The http
      protocol is not used in the hrefvalue.
      Example: Contact Us
