Markdown Styling Guide for Beginners

Markdown is a plain text formatting syntax. Writer use Markdowns to quickly write structured content for web. In 2004 Apple expert John Gruber came up with the idea after becoming frustrated by writing long, laborious HTML tags to properly format his content. Using a traditional writing user interface you have to pause your writing every few minutes (or sometimes seconds) and reach for the mouse in order to click, highlight, click a formatting button, and then click back to where you left off in order to continue. Markdown allows you to keep your fingers firmly planted on the keyboard as you apply formatting on the fly. Following Markdowns usually used in steemit posts.

Headings :

Website content headings are very important since they determine if audiences will read your article or not. We use # hashtag to create headings. Increase in the numbers of # will decrease the size of Heading.

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
Heading 6

Above Headings are created by following codes

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

  • Heading 1

without # . You can add three times equal sign to create Heading 1 and three times little and underneath dashes for Heading 2.
