Headers

Use # at the start of a line of text to use a heading paragraph style.

# This is a big header (H1)

## This is a medium header (H2)

... all the way to ...

###### This is the smallest header (H6)

To set the styling of the different elements, update Typography within the style editor. The hash symbols (#) assign different header levels.

Tips and tricks

• If you want some words to always stay together, and never get broken with line breaks, instead of using spaces, write   , for example Hello world This is a non-breaking space, which will show up as a space but behave like a continuous section of text would.

• To force a line break, on the other hand, you can write <br/>, which will always insert a line break at that position. Alternatively, you can end a line with a double-space!
