Yeah, I think I might need a few more clues here. Which did you start with? I can’t think of anything we’re providing that would break things down by level like that. The stock “Basic MultiMarkdown” format for example uses a simple “Heading” section that makes use of the dynamic outline level = hash level capability. At any rate, going from that as a basis, I manually created six different layout designs and chose a specific hash setting for each, as described. I don’t myself get the same results you do though at any level. For example you refer to getting “#Section Title #” at level one, but I get “# Section Title #”. Well, one thing that might help: open up compile, select the format you’re working on, right-click and choose “Export Format…”. Zip archive the exported file and attach it to your response. I can then load that in and have a look at the settings directly. ---

HI Amber, Well, one thing leads to another » see attachments as to why I can not presently attach the requested export file… » let me know how I can get the requested file to you… as to your questions… > [@](#): > > Which did you start with? Formats \> basic formats \> “compile for MultiMarkdown” in the popup list at the top of the window. then at edit\>format \> sections layout I created six headings, (heading 1 - heading 6) > [@](#): > > I don’t myself get the same results you do though at any level. For example you refer to getting “#Section Title #” at level one, but I get “# Section Title #”. are you referring to the the spaces between the hashtags and the words? It appears I did not put them back the way they should be after I was done regrouping in this area discovering how to insert order list numbers, etc… for the record, I understand that this ‘madness’ I’m experiencing is mostly generated by me, it’s an unavoidable offshoot of how numbers and letters register in my brain » thanks for you hanging in here with me… ![Screen Shot 2018-01-12 at 15.22.52 .jpg](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/813e78cde87d8592ca37217fc91c9066fd54c9b8.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2018-01-12 at 15.20.30 .jpg](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9b402e1d95ca117fdd3331ce7ef0ff3892798758.jpeg) ---

for clarification: I believe the extra space between hashtag and word was my poor typing in the forum skills I’ve gone back into the compile \> section layouts section and all 6 headings are presenting with appropriate hashtag(s) + space before the first word and appropriate space + hashtag(s) in the ‘formatting’ pane… ---
