# Headers and text

> Beautifully styled headings, paragraphs, text formatting, and links for optimal readability.

## Headings

Use headings to organize your content and make it easier to read.

H1 to H3 headings get anchor links and show up in the table of contents for easy navigation.

**Nuxt:**

> [!NOTE]
> 
> When using `@nuxt/content`, you can control [anchor links](https://content.nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/configuration#anchorlinks) generation (for example, for AI chat interfaces) in your `nuxt.config.ts`:
> 
> ```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
> export default defineNuxtConfig({
>   content: {
>     renderer: {
>       anchorLinks: false
>     }
>   }
> })
> ```

> [!NOTE]
> 
> You can also control behavior of [toc generation](https://content.nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/configuration#toc) in your `nuxt.config.ts`:
> 
> ```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
> export default defineNuxtConfig({
>   content: {
>     build: {
>       markdown: {
>         toc: {
>           depth: 3
>         }
>       }
>     }
>   }
> })
> ```
