Hyphen-based Header Generation

-

:arrow_up: any amount of hyphens on their own line with text above, will turn the above text into a level 2 header; if on their own line and no text is above, or the above text is a header, it becomes a bullet list

--

:arrow_up: always becomes an en-dash, unless on its own line and something is above

---

:arrow_up: becomes an em-dash when sharing a line, and becomes a horizontal rule when on its own line and nothing is above

----

:arrow_up: any hyphens over three will no longer create any form of dash, but must still have its own line to create a horizontal rule :arrow_down:

Numerical List Ordering

Starting a numbered list will result in it keeping track of the order for you, starting from the first number. For example:

5. Hi,
2. you
9. should
2. run
2. for
17. your
666. LI**V**ES!
  1. Hi,
  2. you
  3. should
  4. run
  5. for
  6. your
  7. LIVES!
