Header previewing with ## before text

Hi. If I have a header followed by a horizontal-rule, I see the ## in the header and no rule...

## Creating vectors

If I add a blank line after the header, then the ## disappears in the preview and the rule shows up.

I know there are variations in rendering styles and syntax, but my other editor (MOU) shows the preview as expected.

    Then Mou is rendering it more forgivingly. The syntax requires one or the other because a series of dashes directly below a header is another way of specifying a headline in Markdown. The space is absolutely required for it to be interpreted as a horizontal rule.

    OK.Thanks. I'll get used to *** (with a following CR) instead.

    Thanks. I look forward to experimenting more with Marked in my workflow...
