 MATLAB® interface to [OpenTelemetry™](https://opentelemetry.io/), based on the [OpenTelemetry Specification](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/). OpenTelemetry is an observability framework for creating and managing telemetry data, such as traces, metrics, and logs. This data can then be sent to an observability back-end for monitoring, alerts, and analysis. 
 
-## Status
+### Status
 - Currently only tracing is supported. Metrics and logs will be in the future.
 - This package is supported and has been tested on Windows® and Linux®. We will add macOS support in the future.
