+## What is XlsxReport?
 
 Well-formatted Excel reports are important for presenting and sharing data in a clear and structured manner with collaborators, in publications, and for the manual inspection of results. However, creating these reports manually is time-consuming, tedious, and has to be repeated for every new dataset and analysis. XlsxReport was developed to streamline the process of turning tabular data into formatted Excel reports. By automating this task, XlsxReport allows the creation of consistent, publication-ready Excel reports with minimal effort.

 XlsxReport is actively developed as part of the computational toolbox for the [Mass Spectrometry Facility](https://www.maxperutzlabs.ac.at/research/facilities/mass-spectrometry-facility) at the Max Perutz Labs (University of Vienna). The library has reached a stable state, and we are currently working on extending the documentation and adding minor feature enhancements.
 
 
-## Getting started
+## Getting Started with a simple example
 
 With XlsxReport, generating reproducibly formatted Excel reports from your data analysis pipeline is a breeze - simply create a YAML table template once and execute a single terminal command to create Excel reports whenever needed.
