Valentin Gagarin 219aaf5a0b increase heading level 
otherwise the headings won't match at the point where they are included.
this is a bit hacky and brittle, but works for now.

User profile link

A symbolic link to the user's current profile.

By default, this symlink points to:

  • $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profiles/default for regular users
  • $NIX_STATE_DIR/profiles/per-user/root/profile for root

The PATH environment variable should include /bin subdirectory of the profile link (e.g. ~/.nix-profile/bin) for the user environment to be visible to the user. The installer sets this up by default.
