-##Pull request acceptance criteria
+## Pull request acceptance criteria
 
 * **All code must have test coverage.** We use Mocha's chai assertion library and Sinon. Changes in functionality should have accompanying unit tests. Bug fixes should have accompanying regression tests.
   * Tests are located in the `tests.js` file.
 * Please don't change the `package.json` or `VERSION`. We'll take care of bumping the version when we next release.
 * Lint your code with our `npm run lint` before submitting.
