-=== price_average ===
+=== Prices ===
 The average price of this trade good at a main system station which neither imports nor exports, in decicredits.
-=== price_economic ===
+==== price_economic ====
 The proportion of the price affected by the system economy. A value of 0 means that this good does not change in price depending on system economy. A value of 0.3 means that the good would be 0.7 times price_average in an ideal exporting system, and 1.3 times price_average in an ideal importing system. While values greater than 1 may be used, in general much lower values are better.
-=== price_random ===
+==== price_random ====
 The proportion of the price affected by random factors. A value of 0.6 means that the actual price of the good in a system which neither imports nor exports may be between 0.4 and 1.6 times the price_average.
 If this value is larger than price_economic, this means that even an ideal trade run from the best exporter to the best importer is not guaranteed to make a profit.
-=== quantity_average ===
+=== Quantities ===
 The average quantity of this trade good at a main system station which neither imports nor exports, in decicredits. If the calculated quantity exceeds the capacity, it will be capped.
-=== quantity_economic ===
+==== quantity_economic ====
 The proportion of the quantity affected by the system economy. A value of 0 means that this good does not change in quantity depending on system economy. A value of 0.3 means that the good would be 0.7 times as frequent in an ideal importing system, and 1.3 times as frequent in an ideal exporting system. A value of 1 or greater will make the good never or rarely (depending on quantity_random) available in systems which import the good.
-=== quantity_random ===
+==== quantity_random ====
 The proportion of the quantity affected by random factors. A value of 0.6 means that the actual quantity of the good in a system which neither imports nor exports may be between 0.4 and 1.6 times the quantity_average.
 If this value is greater than 1, then systems may often entirely lack this good. If this value is greater than 1 + quantity_economic, then even an ideal exporter may not have any in stock.
