STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL ON HOW TO USE MARK DOWN.

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

So I noticed some newbies are finding it difficult to mark a post with markdown. Having seen this in @euronation's whatsapp group from a member trying to improve his hyperlink.

I thought maybe this post will be of help to those who still don't know how to use markdowns.

First and foremost what is markdown? Markdowns are lightweight texts format e.g. (*,#,>)etc that allows you make rich content, documents etc. Makes reading easy and comprehensible.

Now starting with the first markdown. The simple word I would love to use would be : There is beauty in simplicity.

For Header.

If you want to make it as a letter heading use this # There is beauty in simplicity. P.s you can add more harshtag if you need to reduce.
Eg ### There is beauty in simplicity.

For Sourcing.

Adding proper source or creating a hyperlink...
Go to the desired website take a picture or quote and simply put [source](URL of source).
Eg Source

For italics.

All you need is * at both ends.
E.g. There is beauty in simplicity.

For bold letters.

Two of this ** at both ends.
E.g. There is beauty in simplicity

To quote.

Use this >

There is beauty in simplicity.

To strike through

Use This ~~ at both end of the sentence.

E.g. There is beauty in simplicity.

Lastly how to differentiate using a table.

All you need is -hyphen and pipe |

E.g. THERE IS BEAUTYIN SIMPLICITY.
there is beautyin simplicity
Beauty islove

Tnx for this ma'am my question is this.... What is the effect of not sourcing your image?

You just have to give credit to the site or owner of the picture... it could be termed 'Theft' especially when the picture is copyright protected.

This is useful, I had to use the some as well. Also there is the superscript and subscript.

Yeah but Superscript and subscript are quite complex.

I used it in my last post, this is it, < sup> < /sup>, < sub> < /sub>, without those space.

Oh nice... Will check your post out to see the outcome... Awesome. Thank you.
