Headings used in practice, and the relative size to <P>

Hi,

There are 6 heading tags. I usually see H1 and H2, less common H3 and rarely the rest. Am I missing a usage? It seem to me that H5 and H6 a kind of deep nesting, add to that there size maybe confused with a bold paragraph text.

Is there a real value for the tags above 3? Don't these require always to be adjusted through css to avoid conflict with <P> visually for the users?

Hey, buddy, html is for structuring. Not all users of the web come into the enjoyment of seeing something. Think about screenreader for blind people. You are right it is not so often used but sometimes it is needed.

Thanks for the note about the screen readers. still, I'm puzzled about if these are comprehensible when reading deep nesting of headings?
