I have just installed Drupal 5.0 on my Slackware 11 system and I'm just playing at the moment to see if it suits my/our requirements.
One thing that has struck me immediately is that I can't get big headings using <H1> tags. 'Naked' HTML files with <H1> tags give text that's much bigger (I'd guess about twice as big).
In general I'm finding the Content entry ability of Drupal to be a bit weak, that's where my users will need most help.
How does one lay out a page with a number of paragraphs and headings and maybe some lists etc.?
Use the content templates module to create output templates for your various content types. Use your theme's style.css file to change the look of your header tags.

Either use one of the WYSIWYG editors for the content body textarea field (fckEditor, TinyMCE, htmlarea); or one of the wiki input modules which supports markdown, etc. (search on the modules page on the drupal site).

The area you should really look at is input formats. Here is where you can designate which html tags to pass through on filtered input, or whether to filter the input at all (strongly recommended).
By default, I believe h1 tags are not passed through within content, which makes sense when you consider that the post titles themselves tend to use h1 or h2 tags (depending upon page structure). You can override that, of course.
Editing your stylesheets can change just how big those tags make the text.
Hope this helps.
