0.000 HBDMarkdown and HTML tricks with Steem!
There's a lot you can do with steem to make your text do all sorts of different things, unfortunately, Steem doest have a great way of explaining how to do these things. So with this post, I am simply going to run through different things you can do such as making headings, dot point lists and a few other tricks to make your post look as flashy as you can get it!  <h1>Headings!</h1> In order to create headings like the one above, you can do one of two things. In HTML A heading looks like this ```<h1> heading </h1>``` This can go all the way to h5, The higher the number the smaller the text. <h5> heading </h5> <h4> heading </h4> <h3> heading </h3> <h2> heading </h2> <h1> heading </h1> In mark down this would look like: ``` Heading ====== ``` Heading ===== <h1> Lists </h1> Lists are super useful and can make be a nice looking feature. To create a list in HTML you simply do the following: ``` <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li> Item 2</li> <ul> ``` <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li> Item 2</li> <ul> To do the same thing in Markdown you simply add an * in the front of the word ``` * Item 1 * Item 2 ``` * Item 1 * Item 2 You can also do numbered lists. In HTML this looks like: ``` <ol type="1"> <li>Item 1</li> <li> Item 2</li> </ol> ``` <ol type="1"> <li>Item 1</li> <li> Item 2</li> </ol> And in Markdown you simply just type your list out with numbers starting from 1 onwards. Followed by a full stop 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 <h1>Bold and Italics on text </h1> To make your words **bold** in HTML you need to do the following: ```<b> this sentence is bold!</b>``` <b> this sentence is bold!</b> In Markdown you would do: ```**this sentence is bold!**``` **this sentence is bold!** To do italics in HTML you need to use an i tag: ```<i> here is an example! </i>``` *here is an example!* With Markdown you would do: ```_here is an example!_ ``` Or you can do ```*here is an example*``` _here is an example!_ Summary ====== So we learned how to do headings, lists, numbered lists, bold text and italic text using HTML and Markdown methods. For Steem post Markdown is absolutely easier, and faster. However, I thought I would give you guys the HTML version as well, just because it's nice to learn new things :) and you may end up needing to know how to write some HTML code in the future! you never know :P As always thanks for reading!
