Headlines and Table of Contents
Note: In order for headline syntax to be parsed, it must be placed at the beginning of a line, with no spaces before it.
To create a headline for a section, start and end the line with a number of equals signs. The number of signs determines the level of the headline.
Level 1 headlines are used for page titles themselves. Please do not use them in pages.
== Main page sections are Level 2 == === Subsections are level 3 === ==== You can go to level 6 but beyond 4 is pushing it ====
When a page contains four or more headlines, a Table of Contents is automatically generated for it. If you wish to suppress this, put the magic word __NOTOC__ somewhere in the page. (That's two underscores on either side of the letters.)
