Yeah it is something that would need to be added. Since this is something that needs to be addressed in all heading rules and not just this one rule, I am going to get to it once I get through the current list of features to work on. I will put it at the bottom of the queue for things to work on above the backlog content.

Hm. That’s a really good question. I think a setting in the Rule of whether to use setext or atx headers is the answer. Either way it should recognize setext headers, but unless that option is set, it wouldn’t create them.
