 ======The Rule of Tincture======
-The rule of tincture is the most important rule in heraldry. It is very simple: "Color shall not be placed on color, nor shall metal be placed on metal." However, it is not absolute, and can often be regarded as a guideline rather than a strict rule.
+The rule of tincture is the most important rule in heraldry.
+=== Definition ===
+It is very simple: "Color shall not be placed on color, nor shall metal be placed on metal." However, it is not absolute, and can often be regarded as a guideline rather than a strict rule.
+=== Metals and Colours ===
 The two metals are silver (white) and gold (yellow). The four colours are red, blue, black, and green.
+=== Furs ===
 Furs are neither colors nor metals:  A fur can be placed on a color, metal, or another fur.
 Furthermore, red can be counted as copper, and as such be placed next to a(nother) colour.
+=== Special cases ===
 Certain blatant violations of the rule are used to denote exceptionally holy status (e.g. the arms of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Vatican City, and the Holy See.)
