Headers

In Interactive Handouts headers are used to create the Table of contents shown on the right side of the page. To create a heading, add # in front of a word or phrase. The number of # impacts the heading level. Level 1 headers # Like this are reserved for the title of the page.

## Heading level 2

### Heading level 3

#### Heading level 4

Text

Text is added by… just writing text. Paragraphs are separated by an empty line.

This is a single paragraph even though it is split in three lines.

Bold, italics and other text emphasis

Basic formatting can be done using simple text annotations. See the example below for some common text formatting.

It is very easy to type bold, italic and monospaced text. We can also ==highlight==, strikethrough and ^^underline^^ text. All these can be applied ==together and may span== ^^many words^^.. We can also put type ^superscript^ and subscript text.
