Here is a comprehensive and helpful tool that you can use while writing a post Formatting your topic to look nicer by @MortenCopenhagen
While writing you can format your posts beautifully on Local Guides Connect by using hashtags (#) to create headings and subheadings? This simple trick not only makes your post look organized but also helps readers navigate your content easily.
Why Use Hashtags?
Using #
before your text turns it into a heading. The number of hashtags you use decides the size of the heading—the more hashtags, the smaller the text becomes.
Here’s how it works:
# Heading 1 (Largest)
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Text 1
##### Text 2
###### Text 3 (Smallest)
And here’s how it will actually look when published:
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
Pro Tip: Add Bold for Emphasis
You can even bold your headings to make them stand out more! Just:
- Use the bold button in the writing panel OR
- Add
**
before and after the text
For example:
## **Bold Heading 2**
This will show up like:
Bold Heading 2
Final Thoughts
Next time you’re writing a recap, sharing photos, or telling your story—try structuring your post with headings using hashtags. It will make your post more readable, professional, and attractive!
