Without blank lines, this might not look right. You should also put blank lines before and after a heading for compatibility. For compatibility, always put a space between the number signs and the heading name. Markdown applications don’t agree on how to handle a missing space between the number signs ( #) and the heading name. MarkdownĪlternatively, on the line below the text, add any number of = characters for heading level 1 or - characters for heading level 2. For example, to create a heading level three ( ), use three number signs (e.g., # My Header). The number of number signs you use should correspond to the heading level.
To create a heading, add number signs ( #) in front of a word or phrase. There are minor variations and discrepancies between Markdown processors - those are noted inline wherever possible.
Nearly all Markdown applications support the basic syntax outlined in the original Markdown design document.
