Frequently asked questions
What if shifting goes below H1?+
Headings clamp to H1 minimum. Going further than -1 has no effect on already-H1 headings.
What about H6 max?+
Headings clamp to H6 maximum. Beyond that, the level isn't valid Markdown.
Will the TOC still work after shifting?+
Re-run the TOC Generator after shifting — anchor slugs change with heading text, not level.
