2. Headings

To add a header to your text, put an exclamation mark in-front of the text.

The number of exclamation points denotes the size of the header.

In Sugarcube 2, headings are not displayed in the middle of a text in a passage. But they are shown in the Storyways app as long as they are written in a new paragraph.

2.1 Start using headings yourself

  1. You can copy the following instruction and paste it into your passage to see how the different headings works.

    !Heading size one
    
    !!Heading size two
    
    !!!Heading size three

You cant use the following sentence //Italic text//! only the following //Italic text!//. The exclamationmark alsways have to be inside of any styling intruction //!// or ''!'', otherwise the subsequent text will be parsed as a headline.

The next section will show you how to include images in your story.
