# MD003 - Heading style should be consistent

## What this rule does

Ensures all headings in your document use the same formatting style.

## Why this matters

- **Readability**: Consistent heading styles make documents easier to scan and navigate
- **Professionalism**: Mixed heading styles look unprofessional and unpolished
- **Tool compatibility**: Some tools expect consistent heading formats for navigation features

## Examples

### ✅ Correct (using # style)

```markdown
# First Level Heading
## Second Level Heading
### Third Level Heading
```

### ✅ Correct (using underline style)

```markdown
First Level Heading
==================

Second Level Heading
------------------
```

### ✅ Correct (using setext_with_atx style)

```markdown
First Level Heading
==================

Second Level Heading
------------------

### Third Level Heading
#### Fourth Level Heading
```

### ✅ Correct (using setext_with_atx_closed style)

```markdown
First Level Heading
==================

Second Level Heading
------------------

### Third Level Heading ###
#### Fourth Level Heading ####
```

### ❌ Incorrect (mixed styles)

<!-- rumdl-disable MD003 -->

```markdown
# First Level Heading

Second Level Heading
------------------

### Third Level Heading
```

<!-- rumdl-enable MD003 -->

### 🔧 Fixed

```markdown
# First Level Heading
## Second Level Heading
### Third Level Heading
```

## Configuration

```yaml
MD003:
  style: "consistent"  # Options: "consistent", "atx", "atx_closed", "setext", "setext_with_atx", "setext_with_atx_closed"
```

### Style options explained

- `"consistent"` (default): Use whatever style appears first in your document
- `"atx"`: Use # symbols (`# Heading`)
- `"atx_closed"`: Use # symbols at both ends (`# Heading #`)
- `"setext"`: Use underlines (equals for level 1, dashes for level 2)
- `"setext_with_atx"`: Use underlines for level 1-2, # symbols for level 3-6
- `"setext_with_atx_closed"`: Use underlines for level 1-2, # symbols with closing # for level 3-6

> **Note**: Underline style only works for level 1 and 2 headings. Level 3 and below must use # symbols.

## Automatic fixes

This rule can automatically convert all headings to match your configured style or the first style found in the document.
