In HTML, you should avoid skipping heading levels (using <h5> after <h2>) because it can make your web page confusing and difficult for screen readers or search engines to interpret.
HTML headings are more than just a way to make text larger or bolder; they serve as an important part of the document's structure, creating a hierarchy of information.
For example, using a heading like <h2> followed immediately by <h5> can imply that there's missing information (like a <h3> or <h4>) between important sections that you're skipping, which might not be the case.
Instead, try to keep headings in order, like using <h2> followed by <h3>, and so forth, so it's clear how each section relates to the others.
Hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any more questions!
