When we write, we take our thoughts and we try to convert them into words to share it with others. In our attempt to pass our thoughts clearer to the reader we organize and stylize our text . In this editor this job is undertaken by markdown. When you click to Submit a Story and you are taken to the editor, you can notice at the bottom below the text box a link : Styling with Markdown is supported.

In this page you can find some basics tools for your editing. I gathered the most useful of them and put them down in this blog to make it easier and faster to access.

• Headers

You can use Hashtags for headers. By putting 1 to 6 hashtags, space and your text you can change it size. Otherwise you can write
where i take numbers for 1 to 6.

Text <-- first header

Text <-- second header

Text

We can use the first header by putting below our text the equals sign or the second header by using the minus sign. For example :

Header

• Bold / italics

You can use two asterisks to bold text or write text

If you want to italicize a text use underscore or 1 asterisk text

• Ordered list or bullet list

An ordered list is done by typing

A list made by bullets is done by putting an asterisk or the minus sign and then space before you follow up with the text

• steem1

• steem2

• steem3

• Block quotes

To turn your text into a block quote, use the greater than sign in front of what you want to quote. For example :

Steem is a blockchain database that supports community building and social interaction with cryptocurrency rewards. Steem combines concepts from social media with lessons learned from building cryptocurrencies and their communities.

• Horizontal rule

If you want to create a thematic break you can type three consecutive dashes or three consecutive underscores or three consecutive asterisks.

• Links and tags

If you want to put a link in your text, but you don't want the url to be shown, you type [title](link url). For example :

You can check my blog here : Moderprator

If you want to make a tag in your text put a hashtag next to your keyword without a space. For example :

#Moderprator
#Markdown
#Help

• Images and videos

When I want to put an image in my text, I first upload it with the help of steemitup and then just copy and paste the url.

If you want to align the image in the center, you type . For example :

If you want to add a YouTube video, you just copy paste the link.

• Tables

You can see the format of how to make a table below. The arrangement of words do not have to line up evenly. The Markdown editor will sort it all out.

First Header	Second Header	Third Header
Content Cell	Content Cell	Content Cell
Content Cell	Content Cell	Content Cell

If you notice something is missing, please write it down for me to include it in.
