What are the default font pixel sizes for the heading (h1-h6) tags?
Set Font Size With Em The default text size in browsers is 16px. So, the default size of 1em is 16px.
h1 = 24 pixels → 24 ÷ 16 = 1.5 ems.
HTML defines six levels of headings. A heading element implies all the font changes, paragraph breaks before and after, and any white space necessary to render the heading. The heading elements are H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6 with H1 being the highest (or most important) level and H6 the least.
The default value of font size is 3.
I think it is as follows:
h1 is 2 em h2 is 1.5 em h3 is 1.3 em h4 is 1 em h5 is 0.8 em h6 is 0.7 em
An em is not the same as a pixel. It is a relative way of looking at sizes. With that said I think most browsers default to 16px (or 1em).
Another way of putting it is:
h1 is 32px (2em) h2 is 24px (1.5em) h3 is 20.8px (1.3em) h4 is 16px (1em) h5 is 12.8px (0.8em) h6 is 11.2px (0.7em)
