# No header replacement

Do not use emphasis elements (bold or italics) to introduce a multi line named section. Use headers instead which is exactly the semantic meaning of headers.

As a consequence, many implementations add useful behaviors to headers and not to emphasis elements, such as automatic ID generation (anchor) to make it easier to refer to the header later on.

Use a level 6 header if the meaning of the header section should not stand out great.
