All headings are displayed with blank lines above and/or beneath.
Not all browsers render all headings distinctly.
In practice h4, h5 and h6 are rarely used.
Since HTML 3.2 the align attribute has been allowed with
any of the heading tags. The permitted values are left,
center and right. Here are some examples of headings
done using the <h2> tag with alignment.
Left aligned heading
Centre aligned heading
Right aligned heading
