How It Works
The Markdown Header Counter works by scanning your text for lines that start with one or more # symbols, which indicate headers in Markdown. Here’s the breakdown:
#→ H1 (1#)##→ H2 (2#symbols)###→ H3 (3#symbols)####→ H4 (4#symbols)#####→ H5 (5#symbols)######→ H6 (6#symbols)
The tool counts how many times each header type appears and displays the results in a neat table. Simple, right?
Example Header Counts
| Header Type | Example Count |
|---|---|
| H1 | 2 |
| H2 | 5 |
| H3 | 10 |
| H4 | 3 |
| H5 | 1 |
| H6 | 0 |
