The Markdown implementation LabKey uses requires a space between the # symbol(s) and heading text.
| Syntax | Effect |
|---|---|
| # Title Heading | Title Heading (h1) |
| ## Main Heading | Main Heading (h2) |
| ### Sub Heading | Sub Heading (h3) |
| #### Minor Heading | Minor Heading (h4) |
| ##### Inner Heading | Inner Heading (h5) |
LabKey uses the commonmark-java Markdown implementation with the Heading anchor extension which automatically turns any heading into a page anchor.
The anchors created will be the heading text, all lower case and substituting "-" for spaces. For example, this heading:
### My Section Heading
Would be referenced in a markdown link as:
[on page link text](#my-section-heading) [cross page link text](./wiki-page.view?name=anotherPage#my-section-heading)
