Achievement 4: Basic Markdown Styles on Steem by @geenilfx
Hello my good people, it gladdens my heart as i come forward with my achievement 4 post
The use of markdown when writing a post. It is important to use markdown because it makes ones work look presentable and makes it easy to read. But lets take a look at a brief meaning of markdown.
What is Markdown Styling?
Markdown is a way of formatting my document to make it look neat and easy to understand. For my post to look unique, presentable and easy to read, i have to make use of some basic markdown styles.
Markdown styles makes the work more appealing to the readers eye and wet their appetite to continue reading to the end. Otherwise reading a post might be discouraging to the readers.
Here are some basic markdown styles.
- Heading
- Bold
- Italics
- Create a table
- Text alignment
- Numbered lists
- Bullet points
- Colour text
- Centre heading
- Subscript and superscript
- Centre text
- Blockquote etc
Headlines
Headlines are very important because it help the reader to know the key points in the post.
To make a headline, add the 'hash' and space then write your heading.
To make second subheading smaller add 2hash and space
The subheading gets smaller by adding more hash and space.
For example
First Headline
Second Headline
Third headline
Bold
This markdown style can be used to highlight a point in a post.
I can bold a text by adding double asterisk before and after a text.
For example :
**The more Important Things**
= The More Important Things
Italics
Italics are used for emphasis in a post, it can also use to denote titles or names in a write up, to make it stand out from the surrounding sentence.
To change a text to italics
Type an asterisk before and after each text
For example :
*The more Important Things*
= The More Important Things
Tables
To create a table:
First type heading and divide it with pipe from the second heading
Below the heading put dashes and divide with a pipe
Type the cell contents and divide them with cells.
For Example:
Name | Rank | Date Employed*` |
---|---|---|
Glory | Manager | 12/2/2021 |
Happiness | Secretary | 10/3/2021 |
Text Alignment
To align text in two cells. This means to type in two different columns.

Adding links
To use my steemit username as a link i need to include the '@' symbol with the username and that will automatically make the username a link. By adding a link my username becomes recognised with just a click.
