# MD024 - Multiple headings with the same content
Tags: headers, headings
Aliases: no-duplicate-header, no-duplicate-heading
Parameters:
* `allow_different_nesting`: Only check sibling headings (`boolean`, default `false`)
* `siblings_only`: Only check sibling headings (`boolean`, default `false`)
This rule is triggered if there are multiple headings in the document that have
the same text:
```markdown
# Some text
## Some text
```
To fix this, ensure that the content of each heading is different:
```markdown
# Some text
## Some more text
```
If the parameter `siblings_only` (alternatively `allow_different_nesting`) is
set to `true`, heading duplication is allowed for non-sibling headings (common
in changelogs):
```markdown
# Change log
## 1.0.0
### Features
## 2.0.0
### Features
```
Rationale: Some Markdown parsers generate anchors for headings based on the
heading name; headings with the same content can cause problems with that.
