214: Alignment for seamless section break

Colons, optionally combined with single dots, are interpreted as alignment marks at the start of a block. They are followed by three plus signs +++ or two space-separated plus signs + + in your file. These characters represent a seamless section break or seamless subsection break respectively. But seamless breaks can not be aligned, since they are not represented by a visible element in a webpage.

Solution

Remove the alignment markup from seamless section breaks, because these are not represented by a visible element in a webpage that could be aligned.

If you meant to align a regular section break instead that can be aligned, you should replace the plus signs with hyphens. A regular section break is marked by --- and a regular subsection break by - -.

If you did not mean to mark the end of a section but want to align three literal plus signs +++ or two literal plus signs separated by a space + +, then prepend the plus signs with a backslash. For instance, the following example centers three plus signs:
