Sections
Events can be organized into sections using markdown-style headers. Use # through ###### (1-6 hash marks) to create sections at different nesting levels.
Sections automatically close when:
- A section of the same or higher level (fewer or equal
#marks) is encountered - The end of the document/page is reached
For example,
mw
# The 90s
1991: Desert Storm
1994: Friends premiered
05/14/1998: Series finale of Seinfeld
## The 2000s
03/2005: Premiere of The Office (US)
// The 2000s section auto-closes when The 2010s starts
## The 2010s
2020: Pandemic
// This starts a new top-level section
# Other Events
2022: Other things happen
...
The number of # marks determines the nesting level - # is the outermost level, ## is nested inside #, and so on up to ######.
Sections vs Groups
By default, sections are rendered as "groups" - collapsible containers for events. You can change the visual style using the style property:
mw
# My Section
style: section
2024: Event in section-styled container
When style: section is set, the section extends to the full width of the timeline:
