The number of '''=''' you use defines the strength of the title and places it appropriately in the table of contents for a page. A title with one (1) '''=''' on each end is a primary title. A title with four (4) '''=''' on each end is a deep subtitle.		Using the equals signs is more readable when editing and is the prefered method for titling.
