Markdown Headings

To create a heading, add hash signs (#) in front of a 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., ### Heading).

Syntax:

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

Example

The following example show how to create heading level 1 to 6.

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

Best Practices

The Markdown don’t agree on how to handle a missing space between the hash sign/s (#) and the heading. For best practices, always put a space between the hash signs and the heading.
