How to create sub-headers in org-mode (emacs)?

Hello I was wondering how to create sub-headers in an org document. I have tried this:

* header 
  * sub-header
    Some text

The * works for the header part but will create bullets instead of sub-headers.

Solution

  • for these kind of questions the org-manual is the best place to check: https://orgmode.org/org.html#Headlines

    Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in Org start with one or more stars, on the left margin3. For example:

    * Top level headline
** Second level
*** Third level
    some text
*** Third level
    more text
* Another top level headline

    Hope, this helps!
