Headings

To create a heading, add number signs (#) in front of a word or phrase. The number of number signs you use should correspond to the heading level. For example, to create a heading level three (<h3>), use three number signs (e.g., ### My Header).

Alternate Syntax

Alternatively, on the line below the text, add any number of == characters for heading level 1 or -- characters for heading level 2.

Heading Best Practices

| ✅  Do this | ❌  Don't do this | |----|----| | # Here's a Heading | #Here's a Heading |

You should also put blank lines before and after the heading for compatibility.

\

| ✅  Do this | ❌  Don't do this | |----|----| | Try to put a blank line before… \n \n # Heading \n \n …and after a heading | Without blank lines, this might not look right. \n # Heading \n Don’t do this! |
