How To Organize Your Post Using Markdown

Hi dear steemit friends, this post is mainly to help newbies on how to beautify their post using markdown syntax, it is helping me and I am still learning more.

Benefit Of Exploring

Most times we just want to write up something quickly and post without considering the options given to us.

As you read further I will put down some tips that will help you make a great and organized post.

How To Source An Article Or Hide A Link

This is commonly used by steemit members and in other platform like weku and smoke.

If you intend referencing an image or an article and you don't want your post filled with different link, just follow the steps below-

https://deals.weku.io/community-deals/@ogejoy/cultural-festival-with-dance-performance

If that is the link you intend to hide, all you need do is this-

[Source](https://deals.weku.io/community-deals/@ogejoy/cultural-festival-with-dance-performance

If you watch closely I didn't close my bracket that's why the link is visible above, don't forget the syntax .
When it is done it should look like this

How To Introduce Bold And Italic Text

In the cause of writing we intend to make some words or sentence bold or italics to make it different from the other words we write. To make a word or sentence bold, follow these steps:
Introduce

**at the beginning and end of the word or sentence

Mine is visible because I didn't close the sentence with " ** " so it should look like this

at the beginning and end of the word or sentence

To introduce italics you use

*at the beginning and end of the word or sentence

Mine is visible because I didn't close my sentence with " * " but when you close yours it should look like this

at the beginning and end of the word or sentence

Do you know that it can also be combined together, just watch 👉

at the **beginning and end of the word or sentence

Start the sentence with " * " and end it with it

When you add " ** " after "end" and close the sentence it should look like this

at the beginning and end of the word or sentence

How To Quote Perfectly

In other to quote someone and make your post look good, all you need do is make use of these sign >

According to @tradewonk:

Tom Lee: Bitcoin has bottomed out

The sign should be before the sentence you intend to quote, isn't it interesting?

How To Create A Table

At first I was having trouble creating table but this is a breakthrough for me.
In creating table all you need is hyphen (-) and a pole(|), the hyphen is used in only the first role as seen below while the pole is used to separate your column.

In other for yours to work perfectly, change the underscore(_) to hyphen(-) and it will look just as perfect as what you see below.
