You're right, that was a quick shortcut instead of doing it cleanly (else I 
would have affected parts of the site I didn't have the time to check). 

I'd decrease the size of "#" to something between the current "##" and "###" 
and reduce the others accordingly, so "####" is still distinguishable from 
normal text. A heading can also be distinguished by other things then size, 
though. Some options: 

- boldness
- italic
- a margin-left

margin + bold and margin + italic would be two levels which can have the same 
size as regular text. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
