Hello, fellow steemians.Hope you all are doing great. Today am here to complete my achievement 4 task which is about applying markdowns. I'll use the knowledge which I have gained from steemit to demonstrate the application of markdowns.

WHAT ARE MARKDOWNS??

Basically, markdowns are the formatting syntax that is used to make document writing easier on the internet using various symbols and signs. we can control the display of the document, formatting the text in bold or italics, adding pictures, etc. can be done using markdowns.

We use headings often in our posts but one should choose the perfect heading wisely.

"Headings should be logically structured on a page. A page starts with the H1 heading, followed by an H2 heading, and — should you need another sub-section — it can be followed by an H3 heading. If you need more sub-sections, you can even add H4-H6 subheadings." - Source: Content King

The below code is to show the different headings from heading 1 to heading 6, we can use them in decreasing order to show the biggest to smallest heading.

# Heading Number One
## Heading Number Two
### Heading Number Three
#### Heading Number Four
##### Heading Number Five
###### Heading Number Six

above formatting will be shown as:

Heading Number One

Heading Number Two

Heading NumberThree

Heading Number Four

Heading Number Five

Heading Number Six

Blockquote

We can use the greater than sign >. Using it we can create a single-line or multi-line blockquote. Also, we can put a blockquote inside another blockquote.

1. Single Line Blockquote

> Single line blockquotes are mainly used to show the quotes of original authors.

>
> And the third paragraph will also be written as the second one.
