Heading

There are 6 levels of headings

Styles for Heading

  1. The Setext (Structure Enhanced Text) style uses === and --- for H1 and H2 respectively and Atx-Style for level 3 or more

  2. The Atx-Style uses # (as prefix) for levels 1 to 6 with increasing # for each levels

    markdown
    use # for H1 and so on
    
    ## H2
    
    ### H3
    
    #### H4
    
    ##### H5
    
    ###### H6

Notes

  • All markdown documents always start with a heading level 1
  • The change in levels must always be incremental, like after level 2 comes level 3 and not level 4
