Now i will be going over some of those markdowns. ![C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iP9WPAqpfVeRtYtN9rEB3UY4MAPJSXffLp4RhwAFuRBsDrsHHzXEjmoEKSWouvncpowKGg2xk7x.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRUH7xgnxXfBgMysS2EUDRQt2soeLi1Z3Gq1Tk5RuHDhv/C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iP9WPAqpfVeRtYtN9rEB3UY4MAPJSXffLp4RhwAFuRBsDrsHHzXEjmoEKSWouvncpowKGg2xk7x.png) # 1. HEADINGS Headings are like a them or topic when writing a post and they help you better understand what comes next. To make a heading big, we use hashtags(#). The more the hashtags the smaller the text. `# A perfect day` `##A perfect day ` `### A perfect day` `####A perfect day ` `##### A perfect day` All these will become # A perfect day ## A perfect day ### A perfect day #### A perfect day ##### A perfect day Also if you want to centralize a heading or any text, you use ` text `. That means: `A perfect day` becomes A perfect day ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) # 2. BOLD,ITALIC & BOLD ITALICS In a post, you might want to emphasize on a particular word or sentence or make it stand out. For this, you can make it bold, italic or both. To make text bold, we use `**` or `__` at the beginning and end of the text you want to make bold. To write in italics, use `*` or `_` at the start and end of the text and to write in bold italics use `***` or `___` at the start and end of the text. For example; `**I am bold**` becomes **i am bold** `*I look italic**` becomes *i look italic* `***i am bold and italic***` becomes ***i am bold and italic*** ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) # 3. TABLES Tables help us keep a post organised especially when differentiating two things or when you want to easily send out information to the readers. To make a table, we can do it as seen below `COLOUR | OBJECT` `--- | ---` `Blue | the sky` `Green | grasses` `Sun | yellow` `Pink | Flowers` All these becomes COLOUR | OBJECT --- | --- Blue | the sky Green | grasses Sun | yellow Pink | Flowers ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) # 4. STRIKE THROUGH This is like canceling something. Maybe you wrote something before and you want to cancel it. Or say you want to correct a spelling. It can also be to show a different point of view. To cancel, we use ~~ before and after the text. That means `~~50million~~` becomes ~~50million~~ ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) # 5. CODING Coding is quite simple. Just use ` before and after text. Example: `Othentic Prime` ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) ## 6. TEXT JUSTIFY Its very important to always justify our text wheh making any posts as it helps in organizing the content to align. For example `

` `I am 23years old and i am a boy. I school in Buea but always lived in Tiko with family and i am a university student. I love steemit and I am happy to be part of this family.` `

` BECOMES

Helloooooo its Praise here, I am 23years old and i am a boy. I school in Buea but always lived in Tiko with family and i am a university student. I love steemit and I am happy to be part of this family.

ALIGN TEXT OR PICTURES Say you want to add a picture and explain something about the picture. Its easier and more presentable when you add the needed explanation at the side of the picture. So you will have to align the picture left and the text right or align the picture right and the text left. To align text or picture we use `

text

` for the picture or text to go left and `

text

` for the picture or text to go right. Example `

REDUCE THE VOLUME NOW

` `

INCREASE THE VOLUME NOW

` Becomes

REDUCE THE VOLUME NOW

INCREASE THE VOLUME NOW

MENTION We mention people for several reasons. For example to give appreciation, to dedicate a post to someone, to call the persons attention, for a contest they organised etc. When we mention someone, it appears on their notification. To do that, use `@` then the username of the person. Like @lizzybebs, @bongk, @diangold, @davidad. ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) # 9. SUPERSCRIPT Superscript has to do with writing above or below the bass line. To write above use sup and to write belos use sub. Here is an example `H₂O is the chemical formula of water while CO₂ is the formula for Carbon dioxide.` will now be H₂O is the chemical formula of water while CO₂ is the formula for Carbon dioxide. While `5 to the power 10 should be written as 5¹⁰` will now be 5 to the power 10 should be written as 5¹⁰ ![36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVxEy78QdVuHRGi9UbZdciQKi64Qkc23ttLWEh2jtdhD5/36FDDAC7-8899-44A8-B4BF-87249AAF9DA1.gif) I have come to the end of this achievement and hope to get verified.
