yes, you are absolutely right, but u might haven't seen there comment. sololearn says " they don't recommend make fonts bigger using head tag". even if you want that big fonts and you can use different heading such as 5 or whatever from h1 - h6. so, basically what is the purpose behind not recommending heading tag.

very simple @patel, look why do you use heading and what's the perpouse of text ? if you use heading tag so the fonts will be so bigger than you need, hard to fit in screen as well , you can try it if you want. if you want bigger font than usual do :- https://code.sololearn.com/WSzaGG716nA1/?ref=app

Heading tags carry meaning. If you want to make a font bigger for visual purposes, you should use the span tags and identify the style you want to go with it. Headers are used to identify important sections of text, as they are used in classical books and essays.

They have h1 h2 h3 h4 h5. The more it goes up the smaller the heading will be
