Learn With Steem || Making Your Content Attractive and Presentable || How To Apply Basic Markdowns Style
Hello, everyone.
I welcome you all to my blog, I recalled struggling to find guidelines on how to perform certain things. Every time I need to do some markdown like how to *bold text or how to centralized a text on Steemit, I used Google.
Took my time to chat with the aba curator @focusnow on how to apply this markdown.
More chat with Aba curator
I know some newbie will be facing the same issue right now, so I decided to write about some markdown styles and how to go about it.
I hope you find this information useful base on my own knowledge.
How To Make Headlines?
When writing an article, headers and sub-headlines are particularly important features to consider because they display the structure of your content and guide the reader's eye.
This can be done by inserting symbol # at the start of the text or sentence. As the number of # symbol increases the size of the text or sentences decreases.
Example;
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
This code was used to make the above markdown:
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
How to Justify Text
Justify your text will make your articles unique, easy to read and not to forget it will make the content neat.
When you apply a text-justify command to your content, space is inserted between words so that both margins are aligned on every line.
How to Justify a text
Example;
Before justifying my texts 👇
Steemit is a decentralized social media, which allow users to earn money for sharing quality and original contents.
After justifying my texts 👇
Steemit is a decentralized social media, which allow users to earn money for sharing quality and original contents
You can see the difference, Text-justify made my content neat and easy to read
