Thanks, Just to note, at the article level, using [front-matter](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using/syntax.html#front-matter) is equivalent to using a field list at the start of a document, e.g. ```md --- author: Chris Sewell ---...

can you provide a minimal working of example of a file that causes this. (it may be related to https://github.com/executablebooks/MyST-Parser/issues/262)

also does this only happen for a translated document?

thanks, it looks to me that there is something weird going on with these translated texts, where the heading levels are messed up: For example I don't see why it...

Do you have an example of the kind of outcome you are looking to achieve?
