got it thx Phillip, appreciate it!

in a related continued issue, how does one define a sub header in the
capture that will translate correctly to a lower level header than the main
orc capture?

i have tried both this inside a capture:

  %^{prompt|*** Ingredients}


and also just using 2 stars

** sub header

yet none of them create a sub header. any clue guys?
