*This is from Charles' "HTML and Wikitext - Lesson Six":
Uses of the various sizes:
    h1 is reserved for titles of articles. Do not use as headers in articles. Occasionally, you will
        see h1 headers used as headings for announcements, but that is not what they should be
        used for.
    h2 is used as primary headers. However they will not wrap around images or other objects
        that have been floated. Suggest you use h3 headers.
    h3 is used for subsections under h2. H3 headers will wrap. Suggest you use h3 as your
        primary headers instead of h2 headers because of the wrapping issue.
    h4 is used for subsections under h3.
    h5 is used for subsections under h4. Rarely used.
    h6 is used for subsection under h4. Again rarely used.
 
Keep in mind that when you want to add sub headers that there should be a least two. A
header with one sub header is poor formatting.
