Hi there Stemians!
When I write something in Indonesian, every foreign phrase I used in my writing would be italicized to conform to linguistic rules, for example: Untuk mengucapkan selamat pagi, kita akan menyebut good morning. It's the same when I mention the title of a book or movie or mention something that happens to be specific/important, for example: Dalam Insomniac City Bill hayes diundang Oliver Sacks ke rumahnya, and it works the other way around when I write in English: To say good morning in Indonesian, we say selamat pagi.
The way We program italic, bold, center paragraph, etc. at Steemit are what We known as Markdowns a.k.a Markup language which works very differently from a word processing program, like Microsoft Word. In markdowns, we just only have to put some symbols like * or _ and some other symbols around the text/picture.
In the previous section, I was completed the task and getting verified for achievement 3. So in this post, I would like to talk about how to applying markdowns on Steemit to support the writing looks more interesting or a way to style text on the Internet to complete
#achievement4.
Before we getting lost in the forest of the knowledge, let's check what i'm about to show you first:
Two Day Lovers
The Beach
On this beach, your footprints stays. Memories tore through my body: The idea of you in me; the touch; the waves and wind in your hair, and; the last words you'd spoke to me: I love you.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
-Pablo Neruda
You created a table of The Big Problem of Us
| You | I |
|---|
| Leo | Pisces |
| forlorn | lonely |
| Someone's Lover | Divorced |
I lost my self at a crazy speed at that night. It was insane. The bond broke our flesh and bones. The waves crushed at the tips of our feet. You cried in my roaring chest.
Leuge Beach. January, 23th 2021
In the short fiction that I showed above, we can find a number of markup language applications to beautify the appearance of posts on Steemit, such as headings, quoting, table, text justify, link to another websites/pages of the source. The application of the markup language can be learned through the following explanation:
Formatting Tips
Header
In the article above, we can find the title Two day lovers whose writing size is different and of course larger than the content. It aims to mark as well as attract the reader's attention with the presence of a headlines. The easiest way to display the header is to enter the mark up language "#" before the word.
* The bigger is # Word
* The smallest is ###### Word

Justify, Bold, Center, and Italic
Before the the Table, we could find The Big Problem of Us in both (Bold+Italic) style. To apply bold, we have to put double star aroud the text (see picture 3), to appply bold+italic use 3 star aroud it (see picture 4). But to format italics on text, we only apply one star around the text (see picture 5).

Justify
When I just started writing on steemit, I don't know about the markdown format on this platform, I don't know how to tidy up (align left and right) my paragraphs.I just write. As a result, my writing looks messy on the right side. But to align the left and right of the writing, what we can do is insert the justify formula before and after text (see picture 7).

Setelah makan malam bersama yang lain di rumah, saya lantas siap-siap ambil start untuk tulis catatan harian ini di sini. Sebelum saya ucapkan Cukup Sekian Cerita Cinta Hari Ini (eh!), saya kepingin ungkapkan betapa sada saya hangat dan senang sebab diari saya yang kemarin ternyata dikurasi tim komunitas steem.sea oleh Kak ernaerningsih, sehinga dapat up vote dari Steemcurator08. Tiba-tiba semangat saya makin membara buat terus usaha memproduksi konten berkualitas dan konsisten sehingga layak diup vote SteemCurator01 agar keberadaan saya di ekosistem Steemit bersimbiosis mutualisme.

Table (Cells Creation)
Different from what we usually do in word processing applications like ms. Word, in Steemit or in Markup, the table creation process can be done in the following way:
