Headers

You can create a header using the <header> tag. Headers will not have a background color. They will enlarge text wrapped inside them. Headers are recommended for home and landing pages.

<header>
  <h1>
    Hi!
  </h1>
  <h2>
    I'm a header!
  </h2>
</header>

FUN FACT

Declass's headers have a 5 pixel thick bottom border.

# <hgroup>

To get rid of extra padding, you can wrap the text inside of the header in an <hgroup> tag.

<header>
  <hgroup>
    <h1>
      Hi!
    </h1>
    <h2>
      I'm a header without a ton of padding.
    </h2>
  </hgroup>
</header>

# <center>

Wrapping the content of the header inside of a <center> tag will center it.

<header>
  <center>
    <h1>
      Hi!
    </h1>
    <h2>
      I'm a centered header.
    </h2>
  </center>
</header>
