Re: Re[2]: HTML heading styles

What I meant when I said to resize H3 because it was too large, was not on
an individual basis but as a whole. H1 is very large and with CSS there are
many ways to maintain its visual emphasis even if you style it smaller such
as centering it, coloring it, adding a background or border or some other
decoration. I (and I am not alone here by any means) have seen many web
sites where the primary heading was H4 "because H1 to H3 were too large".
This is what I was getting at.

If you redefine H4 to be smaller on the page, where does that leave
a page with both H3 and H4 content? Either they'll be hard to
distinguish, or you'll have inconsistency between pages.
