Hello dear ones welcome to my achievement 4 post
The use of markdown is important when making a presentation. It makes your work look neat and makes it easier to read your post. I am going to be explaining some basic markdown stylings. But I will start by explaining the meaning of markdown styling.

Markdown is a way of styling your text thereby making it neater and easier to read.

some basic markdown stylings

  • Headlines
    Headlines are very important because it can guide the eye of the reader to key points and it also makes your work presentable.
    To make a headline simply add the 'hash' and space bar then write your heading. You can make your second subheading smaller by adding 2hash. The more you add the hash the smaller you text becomes. For example
    # First Header
    ## second header
    ### third header
    Results to

first header

second header

third header

You can also add three dashes or three equal signs underneath your subheading. This method is only for heading 1 and 2.

emboldening a text
To make a text bold you all you need to do is to add double asterisk before and after each word.

above example will result to:
sleeping dog

  • changing text to italics
    To change a text to italics you need to pit an asterisk before and after each text

The above will result to:
sleeping dog

  • Tables
    Yo create a table:
    Write the first header and divide it with pipe from the second header.
    Below put dashes and divide with a pipe
    Start writing below it the cell contents and dividing them with cells.
    Example:

The above example will result to this:

Malesfemales
Manwoman
Lionlioness
Dogbitch

• To align text into two cells. This means to input your writeup in two different columns. This is what you need to do:

And below will be the result

We need to be patient it may take time for those who have known you to start viewing you as an adult.
Seek advice before making a decision. Consult your parents and trusted adult. Make wise decisions.
Adding links

To make a steemit username click able you need to include the '@' symbol with the username and that will automatically make the name clickable.
Also when a link is added, it becomes recognised and click able
Example:

The above will be made clickable as in below.
