Putting syntax into wiki headings is non-trivial due to the heading appearing
in the TOC, which brings in requirements to strip syntax from content and
somehow come up with a stable/repeatable mechanism for generating fragment
identifiers. It might be easier to reorder your content.
In a diary/journal, the date is normally the heading. The activity is the
description. For headings to work well in the TOC they usually should be short
so they fit on one or maybe two lines. For a list of companies with
descriptions/summaries, use a list (!) and put the name on the first line.
