Header

Overview​

A header is an element that is usually used to represent the title of a distinct section of text, denoted by a #. A header ranges from level 1 to level 6, where the level of the header is determined by the number of # characters and if the number of # characters exceeds 6, it will be parsed as a paragraph.
