Heading

What is Heading?

A line starting with one or more # characters, used as the title of a note or a section within it.

Why it matters

Headings give a note structure — one # as the title, ## and ### for sections and subsections — so long notes stay scannable.

How it works

More #s make a smaller, deeper heading, from # down to ######. A space after the #s is required.

Examples

  • `# Trip planning` — the note's title
  • `## Things to book` — a section
  • `### Flights` — a subsection

FAQ

How many heading levels are there?

Six, from # to ######, though most notes only need the first three.
