-===== Things to keep in mind =====
+=== Shell Scripting/Slurm Batch ===
-==== Shell Scripting/Slurm Batch ====
 If you write shell scripts or slurm batch files that make use of these software packages, remember that you must still load modules from inside of your script.  For example, your script must contain the line ''%%module load python3%%'' before you can use python from inside of your script.
