What counts as a section?
A heading includes everything beneath it, including nested headings, until the next heading at the same or a higher level.
Can I set a target for one part of a note?
Yes. Add a target line below a heading to track that section, or add one to the note for a whole-note target.
Can I choose where the statistics appear?
Yes. Show them beside headings, beside the note title, in the status bar, or only in the places you want.
