'Markdown Export' Info Wrong?

'Markdown Export' Info Wrong?

[Lee Thompson]

Hi all,

I noticed when browsing the info manual for Markdown Export options this
line concerning headline styles seems to be wrong:

> Header and sectioning structure
> -------------------------------
> 
> Based on ‘org-md-headline-style’, Markdown export can generate headlines
> of both _atx_ and _setext_ types.  _atx_ limits headline levels to two

Should this not be the other way round? ATX headlines being repeated
hashes limited to 6 levels and Setext headlines being underlined with
equals for top-level then dashes for second-level.

Is this a quick change I could make myself and contribute?

Looks like you are right.
