RE: 3 Simple Formatting Tricks For Your Next Steemit Post

in #steemit8 years ago

Good post for all newbies...A lot of the information out there is outdated!

However with regards to drawing a line, the (dashes) --- does not seem to work for me. If I tried doing the --- before and after my (subject) the after line does not appear, the line spacing and font size also increases.

I use *** before and after instead which seems to work for me.

You can also also use (three underscores) ___ to get the same effect.

Have you tried adding these dashes in a new line? That works for me. Pic here:

I notice the change in font size too. A new line should fix it.

Perhaps you may want to try it again. :)

Thank you! Never knew this. Added in the post above. SUPER glad you shared this! :)

Hi @sidwrites, yes tried it all but doesn't seem to work except for the *** and the ___.

I saw the formatting on a recent post can't remember from who now, it was just a few days ago. The original worked --- worked before because I used it and then all of a sudden it didn't and I was scratching my head.

Anyway, great tips on the other suggestions.

You can use hr tag for a line. It is like in HTML.
