If you write in markdown, the H1 (and other) title is:

```auto
# I'm an H1 title
## I'm an H2 title
### I'm an H3 title and so on

```

If you write in HTML the H1 (and other) title is:

```auto
<h1>I'm an H1 title</h1>
<h2>I'm an H2 title</h2>
<h3>I'm an H3 title and so on</h3>

```

As you probably know there are 6 Headings in total (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6).

Ok thank you very much I just understood one thing a very important thing, that I did not understand at the outset is that in translating HTML in markdown, it is the thing that I did not pay attention that work with a file. md

In Hugo you can work with HTML files as well as Markdown files in your `content` folder. Markdown is just easier to write.

If you like to learn Hugo from the ground up I can recommend [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLAZ4kZ9dFpOnyRlyS-liKL5ReHDcj4G3](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLAZ4kZ9dFpOnyRlyS-liKL5ReHDcj4G3) to you. Great material, easy to understand, teaches you all the basic important things about Hugo.
