I created an online course called [Steem Markdown](https://steemskills.teachable.com).  

>Steem Markdown is written simply enough so that new Steem users can understand the basics of Markdown and in-depth enough so that experienced Steem users can learn new Markdown tips and tricks.

Each markdown lesson will include:
- An easy to understand Getting Started section of each Markdown category
- Code comparisons between What You Type versus What You See.
- A Practice Makes Perfect segment so that you can turn knowledge into real-life experience.
- A Test Your Knowledge quiz to see if you are remembering the material.

The following contains information from the lesson about **HEADINGS**.  If you would like to view the entire course, click [here](https://steemskills.teachable.com).

<h1>Use the # symbol to create headings</h1>
To create a header in your Steem post, use the following format:
 ```# Heading Title```

**Things to remember:**
- Don't forget to put a space between the # and the heading title.
- Increasing the number of hashtags (#) decreases the size of the heading font.
- The maximum amount of hashtags (#) that can be used in Markdown is six.

<h1>Using HTML tags to create headings</h1>
To create a header in your Steem post, use the following format:
 ```<h1> Heading Title</h1>```

**Things to remember:**
- HTML heading elements include H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6.
- Heading tags must have an opening and closing tag.  For example, `<h1>` and `</h1>`
- The H1 element indicates the more important heading and has the largest font
- The H6 element indicates the least important heading and has the smallest font
- Heading elements must match in case - both uppercase (`<H1>` and `</H1>`) or lowercase (`<h1>` and `</h1>`)

<h1>Your Turn</h1>
Copy and paste the following into your favorite Steem interface or Steem tribe user interface.

```
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6
####### Heading 7 - Incorrect heading
```
<br>
`<h1>Example 1</h1>`
Correct -This is a properly formatted Level 1 Heading.
`<h1>Example 2<h1>`
Incorrect - This heading is not closed properly. There is no / in the closing tag.
`<h1>Example 3</H1>`
Incorrect - The opening and closing tags must use the same case. You cannot use a combination of upper case (H) and lower case (h).
`<H2>Example 4</H2>`
Correct - This is a properly formatted Level 2 Heading.
