# Colorful Heading Underlines

Add colorful underlines to identify heading levels.

Appearance options can be tweaked in [Style Settings](https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=obsidian-style-settings).

## Why not a CSS snippet?

CSS alone can't set the underline width to the width of the last line or the widest line in a multi-line heading. The plugin provides both options.
