Markdown "Make-up" Synthax Tutorial : How To Dress Your Post
In this post we would find out how to use the basic markdown needed for your everyday post plus some extra spice.
I hope you this tutorial finds all minnows, most especially the #steemitghana, #teamghana members.
A RESTEEM is much appreciated 👌😉
If markdown is difficult for you to learn, then I guess you should try html
What is Markdown
It is a plain text formatting style for writing.
It gives you control over how it post appear to your readers ; adding bold or italic fonts, setting headers and sub headers, adding images and making lists among others.
Markdown on #steemit is utilized in the body (middle) section of the post (Not in header or tags)
How to Use Markdown to style;
Headings
To set a heading for your post or sub-headings for your post is achieved using the hash (#) symbol.
The number of hash represents the header type.
# Header 1
Header 1
## Header 2
Header 2
General Text
Sometimes when posting, we usually like to emphasize certain specific words by making the bold, italics and strike through
**Bold 1** (double asterisks)
Bold 1
__Bold 2__ (double underscore)
Bold 2
~~Strike Through~~ (double tilde)
Strike Through
Making a list
To make a numbered list, is just as normal as writing
1. First on list
2. Second on a list
- First on list
- Second on a list
To make an unordered list, use an asterisk (*), minus (-) or plus (+) and make sure to leave a space between the text and symbol
* This
- This
- Another
- Another
+ Using the plus
- Using the plus
Adding Links
I used to add links using html codes when I didn't know the markdown styling
But this can be done easily by;
[Square bracket](https://parenthesses.com)
Quotes
> This is how to make a quote or block
This is how to make a quote or block
Horizontal Lines
These are achieve using 3 underscores, 3 asterisks or 3 hypens
---
***
___
All three lines were achieved with all the different systems
Can also be achieved using html code
<hr>
Inline Code
This can be a easy achieved by using a tab or indenting with four spaces.
this is how it's done
Tables
Sincerely, I have never used a table in markdown but now
It involves literally drawing the table with symbols
| Column 1 | second | third |
|--------------|:---------:|-------:|
|some of the| other | inputs |
|last line | rows |here |
| Column 1 | second | third |
|---|---|---|
| some of the | other | inputs |
| last line | rows | here |
With this out of the way I guess we should see more post with great layouts.

It lets me make money while helping developingnations! So its a great way to have self interest and to help others, like hybrid altruism + selfishness like selfish altruism haha also it gives me joy ti hel others so its self interest haha which is fine, peopel think u haveto liek suffer inorder to help others or something, its weird, whatever, we are all getting wealthy together!
and i just know tht the local African immigrant populations in san doiego, california, USA, peopel from Ethiopia and somalia will be happy to hel;p africans in africa, via steemit, i also should go visit the local nigerian Churches here and find local African christians who would be interested in steemit as a way to invst money for themselvs and to help african christians! Its a win win!
