Heading and Footer tags in HTML 5 are used to provide heading and footers in HTML 5 which are as follows:-
 

1) Heading Tags

 
<header>:- It indicates an introduction, or it helps in navigation. Its content can be headings, information about version, subheadings etc. It can be used to include a table of content of sections. We cannot include it in another <header>, <address> or <footer> element. Optionally, it can also include headings of section such as <h1> to <h6>.
 
Syntax:
 
               <header>
 
Code:
  1. <!DOCTYPE HTML>  
  2. <html>

  • <hgroup>:- It indicates section's Or the document's heading. It can contain different levels of headings. First, we specify the main heading followed by subheadings. The main heading comes under the category of level 1 heading and other subheadings come under the category of after level 1  heading. After level 1, lower level of  heading can be from <h2> to <h6>. So <hgroup> tag is used to combine <h1> to <h6> tags.
