Equal signs are used to mark the enclosed text as a section heading: <code>==Title==</code> for a primary section; <code>===Title===</code> for the next level (a subsection); and so on to the lowest-level subsection, with <code>=====Title=====</code>. (The highest heading level technically possible is <code>=Title=</code>; but do not use it in articles, because it is reserved for the automatically generated top-level heading at the top of the page containing the title of the whole article.) Spaces between the equal signs and the heading text are optional, and will not affect the way the heading is displayed. The heading must be typed on a separate line. Include one blank line above the heading, and optionally one blank line below it, for readability in the edit window (but not two or more consecutive blank lines, which will add unnecessary visible white space in the rendered page.) | Equal signs are used to mark the enclosed text as a section heading: <code>== Title ==</code> for a primary section; <code>=== Title ===</code> for the next level (a subsection); and so on to the lowest-level subsection, with <code>===== Title =====</code>.
