How is the best way to debug a problem -- e.g. changing default heading level in posts?

[cweber]

I've tried to use the options in conf.py to change the default heading level, including various combination of: 

PANDOC_OPTIONS = ['--base-header-level=2']

and 

DEMOTE_HEADERS = 2

I can see that these are picked up in the conf.cpython-36.pyc file in __pycache__. Yet in the index.html file for a post I always get: 

<article class="post-text h-entry hentry postpage" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"><header><h1 class="p-name entry-title" itemprop="headline name"><a href="." class="u-url">Test</a></h1>

I've tried using: 

nikola clean 

with various options, including -a and -c, and followed this with 

nikola build 

with and without the -a option. 

I'm running nikola v8.0.0b2 on OSX, in a conda environment with python 3.6. I don't think I installed this with the "extras" option.  

Any suggestions for next steps?

In that specific case:

1. The output of pandoc should be in the cache folder untouched, that means you can see if the pandoc option is doing what you expect.

2. The header demotion code is here: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/blob/master/nikola/post.py#L807

What I would do is just stick a pdb.set_trace() there and see what's happening :-)

1a. Perhaps try deleting that cache file and rebuilding, perhaps the options are not dependencies for a Pandoc build.

2a. I believe Pandoc has DEMOTE_HEADERS support disabled.
