I’ve used them when I used in numbered lists with multi-paragraph
list items to outline a line of argument, or to outline steps in
a chain of instructions where I quoted bits from source code or
configuration file.

Headlines are matched entirely independently of any blank lines
surrounding them. The following Markdown source:

    Para.
    # Head
    Para.

will result in the following HTML:

    <p>Para.</p>

    <h1>Head</h1>

    <p>Para.</p>
