Content Structure and Formatting
2025, 01 DecHeadings, lists, text formatting, links, and horizontal rules.
Heading Levels
Six levels available. H1 is reserved for the post title, so H2 is your top-level section heading in the post's content. This section you're reading now uses H2—it defines the major parts of your content and creates the primary navigation structure.
H3 Heading
This is where most of your content structure happens. H3 headings break up major sections into digestible chunks.
H4 Heading
When you need another level of organization within an H3 section, H4 comes in. Think of it as a sub-topic—useful for breaking down complex subjects without creating a whole new section.
H5 Heading
You won't use this often, but it's there when you need it. Technical documentation sometimes goes this deep, especially when documenting nested data structures or multi-level configurations.
H6 Heading
The deepest level. If you find yourself here regularly, consider restructuring your content. But for edge cases—like detailed API references or deeply nested examples—it exists.
Paragraphs
First paragraph with multiple sentences. Text wraps naturally based on container width.
Line break within paragraph
is also possible.
Text Formatting
Bold text for emphasis.
Italic text for subtle emphasis.
Bold and italic together.
Strikethrough for deletions.
Inline code for technical terms.
Combined: bold with italic and strikethrough plus code.
