Heading 3 | is a sub-header and can be used as a sub-section heading |
Heading 4 | is a smaller sub-header |
Heading 5 | is even smaller |
Heading 6 | is the smallest sub-header option |
Lists
Lists can help to visually group related content and may be numbered or have bullet points.
- Numbers: A numbered list will look like this:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Bullets: A bullet list will look like this:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
Code
Monospace text or preformatted text may be suitable for code or raw data.
