RE: Markdown 101 - How to make kick ass posts on Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Great concise tutorial.

I wonder what your opinions are about underline, @themarkymark.

I was reading different opinions on that. Some stated that < u > and < /u > were done away with because of confusion with URLs while others were unhappy with the source of that statement.

Personally, I don't feel I got a conclusive understanding of that, but recall a time when < u > & < /u > could be used to create an underline.

Do you have an opinion on this?

Underline isn't in markdown as it wasn't designed for formatting text, just meaning. Underline is something each application would need to handle itself, like github has different additions to markdown as does Discord. Really isn't much of a choice here, got to use what's available, but I don't think there is an underline that works with Steemit as far as I know

Thanks for explaining that! It was bugging me why I couldn't figure it out.
