From 6809aeefd0f2b951cd4861f676ee2dff0df47ff2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vratko Polak Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 15:08:16 +0200 Subject: fix(report): unify .rst section marks Unify characters marking section levels, (at least for methodology Vratko contributed to): Level 0: ==== Do not use, or use for index.rst only. (Because git conflicts also create ====.) Level 1: ^^^^ Level 2: ~~~~ Level 3: ```` Level 4: ____ Level 5: ---- Do not use.
