Note that the second paragraph in the section also has its first line indented. Be sure to leave a blank line between paragraphs. This paragraph's first line is indented, too. Subheading 1 Use additional indentation to generate subheaders. Notice that the subheading's level of indenting is the same as the level for the previous paragraph, but that *this* paragraph is further indented. It's the extra indenting of *this* paragraph that creates the subheading. Subheading 2 Get smaller subheadings by indenting even more. Subheading 3 Get even smaller subheadings by indenting even more.
