## Markdown formatting
|
|
|
|
- `#` or `h1` is used for either "Consitution" or "Bylaws". They are not numbered, necessitating an `{.unnumbered}` class. Note: to get the numbering to match existing convention, a [Lua filter](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5071#issuecomment-856918980) was required, see [jgm/pandoc#5701](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5071)
|
|
- `##` or `h2` is used for sections
|
|
- `###` or `h3` is used for subsections
|
