Headlines and Lists
Note: In order for headline and list syntax to be parsed, it must be placed at the beginning of a line, with no spaces.
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 and are discouraged in pages.
== Main page sections are Level 2 == === Subsections are level 3 === ==== You can go to level 6 but beyond 4 is pushing it ====
