Hello fellow steamians

I am here to complete my achievement 4 task which is all about markdown styles in steemit.

When a creating a post in steemit, the author needs to draw the attention of readers to do so you have to create a heading, in this paragraph I will show you how to create a heading.

HOW TO CREATE A HEADING

We create headings just by inserting ‘#’ at the beginning of your sentence, when you insert ‘#’leave a spaces before typing your heading. Also the you can decrease the size of your heading by adding more hashtags(#) at the beginning of your sentence below is an example.

Now when are are creating post in steemit and you want to highlight a point or want to draw the attention of the readers or the public, all you have to do is to make the text bold that points over here I will show you how to highlight a point

HOW TO MAKE A TEXT BOLD

Just like making a heading insert two ‘**’ at the be beginning and the ending of the text you want to bolden with this unlike the heading you don’t leave a space an example below.

The same thing goes to making a text italic instead of adding two’**’ you will add one at the beginning and the ending of your text without leaving a space an example below.

Let’s take a look at how to create tables. In steemit creating tables is very essential to make ones post easy to understand.

HOW TO CREATE A TABLE

You can create a table by separating the rows with hyphens and the columns with vertical line(|) an example below

HOW TO QUOTE

Let’s say you are creating a post and you decide to borrow someone’s words it is important to quote those words and I will showing you how to do just that.
When you want to quote someone’s words just add ‘>’ in front of the sentence. Let’s look at this example

HOW TO CREATE A LINK

You can just paste the link https://steemit.com/hive-172186/@cryptokannon/achievement-4-mentor-by-cryptokannon-applying-markdown

But to make it look more attractive you can decide to hide the link and to also make it simplified. This is how you do it first open ‘[This is the link ]’ right after that type () and paste the link into the bracket. An example below

This is the link

This is more simpler
