make a class with H1 properties?

[Big Bill]

What I have to do is replace some h1 tags with basic p tags but the
end appearance has to be the same. I'm thinking, where I have
<H1>yada</H1>
I can replace it with
<p class="looks like it would if this was an H1 tag">yada</p>
if you get my meaning, so what properties would that class tag have to
have? I mean, what's the standard H1 tag properties please?
I'm sure this is defined somewhere but I can't find it.

Many thanks.

There are NO standard H1 properties. Each UA has it's own default
rendering. You could set the presentation for both by using
h1,p.h1classwhichshouldnotbeneeded{font-size:150%;font-weight:bold;} for
instance.

Care to explain why should something be displayed 'like a H1' and not be
one? You might be trying to solve the wrong problem.

Why do you have to do that? If it has to look like a heading, why
not make it a heading?

There is no standard, though most browsers have fairly similar
settings. The suggested default style sheet is at

Why? If it's a heading, it should be marked up as such. If it's not
really a heading, do as Mr Wasmus suggests, except use a class name
that's descriptive of the content, not the styling.
