                  level, header_level,
                  size,  font_size,
                [ align, text_alignment, ]
                [ font,  font_type       ] ) )

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required
text	string	The header text.	Yes.
level	integer	The header level.	Yes.
size	integer	The font size.	Yes.
align	string	The text alignment.	No.
font	string	The font that should be used.	No.

Description

This function inserts a header or title. The main difference between the "text" and the header function is the "level" parameter. This parameter specifies the type of the header. The level number goes from 1 and up:

Chapters
Section
Subsection
Subsubsection
etc.

The level has nothing to do with the header text, it controls how the text appears in the table of contents. The font size, font type, and text alignment can be specified using the "size", "font", and "align" parameters. Please refer to the documentation of the "text" function for an explanation of these parameters.
