"headtag" can be:

These are examples and are not what the variable is limited to. Do NOT use the < and > symbols in this variable, they will create errors in the output of the template.

  • leave blank - The template uses <span style="font-size: 1.5em;">
  • div - template uses <div> - This will force the header2 variable down to the next line of text.
  • h2 - <h2> - This will force the header2 variable down to the next line of text and add the header variable to the Table of Contents.
  • h3 - <h3> - This will force the header2 variable down to the next line of text and add the header variable to the Table of Contents.
  • you get the point, right?
  • If you use an alternate tag for the header then you may insert a style too. For example: h3 style="font-size: 1.5em;" or div style="font-size: 1.5em;"

Result
