The first heading in an article should be an H1 heading. An article will typically start with a short paragraph describing the content of the article.

Remember to update the toc.yml in developers/ or users/

Usage of headers in an article

Subsequent headers are defined by using two or more hash characters in the heading. These headers will define bookmarks in the In this article section in the upper right corner.
