The different levels depend on the number of "=" signs:
= level 1 =
== level 2 ==
=== level 3 ===
==== level 4 ====Notes:
The first "=" char must be the first character on a line. To the right of the very last "=" char their must not be any other white space. A word of advice: try to avoid using level 4 headers, and never use headers of level 5 and 6!
