Headings & Paragraphs

Headings

Standard Markdown headings from h1 to h6:

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

Headings support inline formatting:

# **Bold** Heading
## *Italic* Heading
### ~~Strikethrough~~ Heading
#### **Bold** and *Italic* Combined

Heading anchors

Add an anchor ID to any heading with {#id} at the end. This allows cross-referencing from elsewhere in the document:

# Introduction {#intro}
## Methods {#methods}
### Data Analysis {#data-analysis}

Anchor IDs must start with a letter and can contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.

See References & Anchors for how to link to anchored headings.

Extended HTML syntax

For full styling control, use HTML heading tags with attributes:

<h1 align="center">Centered Heading</h1>
<h2 align="center" color="#0066cc" fontSize="24">Styled Heading</h2>
<h3 fontFamily="Georgia" fontWeight="bold" spacing="10,20">Custom Font Heading</h3>

Available attributes:

Attribute	Values	Description
`align`	`left`, `center`, `right`, `justify`	Text alignment
`color`	Hex color (e.g., `#ff0000`)	Text color
`fontSize`	Number (points)	Font size
`fontFamily`	Font name (e.g., `Georgia`, `Arial`)	Font family
`fontWeight`	`normal`, `bold`	Font weight
`fontStyle`	`normal`, `italic`	Font style
`letterSpacing`	`-5` to `20`	Character spacing in points
`textTransform`	`none`, `uppercase`, `lowercase`, `capitalize`	Visual case transformation
`indentLeft`, `indentRight`	`0` to `100`	Left and right indents in points
`firstLineIndent`	`-50` to `100`	First-line indent in points
`hangingIndent`	`0` to `100`	Hanging indent in points
`backgroundColor`	Hex color	Background behind the heading
`spacing`	`before,after` (e.g., `10,20`)	Spacing before/after in points
`keepTogether`	Boolean	Keep the heading content together on one page where possible
`keepWithNext`	Boolean	Keep the heading with the following element
`pageBreakBefore`	Boolean	Start the heading on a new page
`widowControl`	Boolean	Avoid isolated first or last lines where supported

Paragraphs

Standard Markdown paragraphs — just write text:

This is a regular paragraph. It can span
multiple lines and will be joined together.

A blank line starts a new paragraph.

Consecutive lines without a blank line between them are merged into a single paragraph.

Text2 style (secondary paragraph)

Use the pipe prefix | to apply the text2 style — a secondary paragraph style defined in your document defaults (e.g., smaller font, different color):

| This is a text2 paragraph.
| Multiple lines can use text2 style.
| Each line starts with pipe and space.

The text2 style uses the styling defined in your document’s defaults.styles.text2 configuration. This is useful for subtitles, captions, or secondary information.

Lines starting with | that also end with | are parsed as table rows, not text2 paragraphs.

Extended HTML syntax

For full styling control, use HTML paragraph tags:

<p align="justify">This paragraph is justified.</p>
<p align="center" color="#666666" fontSize="12">Styled paragraph text.</p>
<p fontFamily="Arial" spacing="5,10">Custom styled paragraph.</p>

Multi-line HTML paragraphs are also supported:

<p align="justify">
This is a longer paragraph that spans
multiple lines in the source.
</p>

Available attributes:

Attribute	Values	Description
`align`	`left`, `center`, `right`, `justify`	Text alignment
`color`	Hex color (e.g., `#ff0000`)	Text color
`fontSize`	Number (points)	Font size
`fontFamily`	Font name	Font family
`fontWeight`	`normal`, `bold`	Font weight
`fontStyle`	`normal`, `italic`	Font style
`letterSpacing`	`-5` to `20`	Character spacing in points
`textTransform`	`none`, `uppercase`, `lowercase`, `capitalize`	Visual case transformation
`indentLeft`, `indentRight`	`0` to `100`	Left and right indents in points
`firstLineIndent`	`-50` to `100`	First-line indent in points
`hangingIndent`	`0` to `100`	Hanging indent in points
`backgroundColor`	Hex color	Paragraph background
`spacing`	`before,after` (e.g., `5,10`)	Spacing before/after in points
`keepTogether`	Boolean	Keep the paragraph on one page where possible
`keepWithNext`	Boolean	Keep the paragraph with the following element
`pageBreakBefore`	Boolean	Start the paragraph on a new page
`widowControl`	Boolean	Avoid isolated first or last lines where supported

HTML syntax is optional. Use it only when you need styling that goes beyond what your document defaults provide. For most documents, standard Markdown headings and paragraphs are sufficient.
