+# Assert
 
 This module is used for writing unit tests for your applications, you can
 access it with `require('assert')`.
 
-### assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)
+## assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)
 
 Throws an exception that displays the values for `actual` and `expected` separated by the provided operator.
 
-### assert(value, message), assert.ok(value, [message])
+## assert(value, message), assert.ok(value, [message])
 
 Tests if value is a `true` value, it is equivalent to `assert.equal(true, value, message);`
 
-### assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])
+## assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])
 
 Tests shallow, coercive equality with the equal comparison operator ( `==` ).
 
-### assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])
+## assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])
 
 Tests shallow, coercive non-equality with the not equal comparison operator ( `!=` ).
 
-### assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
+## assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
 
 Tests for deep equality.
 
-### assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
+## assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
 
 Tests for any deep inequality.
 
-### assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
+## assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
 
 Tests strict equality, as determined by the strict equality operator ( `===` )
 
-### assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
+## assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
 
 Tests strict non-equality, as determined by the strict not equal operator ( `!==` )
 
-### assert.throws(block, [error], [message])
+## assert.throws(block, [error], [message])
 
 Expects `block` to throw an error. `error` can be constructor, regexp or 
 validation function.

-### assert.doesNotThrow(block, [error], [message])
+## assert.doesNotThrow(block, [error], [message])
 
 Expects `block` not to throw an error, see assert.throws for details.
 
-### assert.ifError(value)
+## assert.ifError(value)
 
 Tests if value is not a false value, throws if it is a true value. Useful when
 testing the first argument, `error` in callbacks.
