A maybe not perfect, but still useful Markdown guide for newbies on Steemit

This title look horrible, right?

But if I use ## before starting a sentence

It will look like this

But then you have this next sentence way too crammed up right below the title

so what I do is add <br> at the beginning of the next paragraph\

And it will look like this


Much better, right? I didn´t add any enter between the title and this text, just the word <br>\

But you might want to center your title

All I have to do is add <center> right after the ## and then add </center> in the end of the title and it will be nicely centered, cool huh?

On the editor will look like this ## <center> My amazing title </center>

But on your post it will look like this:

My amazing title

And maybe i want to add an image, I like this one

But it look awkward in the left zone, like a tree in a theatre play, I want it in the center, so all i have to is the same as I did in the title, I will add <center>\ Here goes the Image url </center>

And it will look like this


And then I want to continue writing but the image seems too close to the paragraph, doesn´t it? Well, maybe this one doesn´t but if you want to add a space between the image and the text, you can just put <br> at the beginning of the paragraph after the image and you´ll have a space :)

So now we have nice looking titles and proper imaging but how about subtitles?

# Using one will make your text look like this

# Using two will make your text look like this

### Using one will make your text look like this

#### Using one will make your text look like this

##### Using one will make your text look like this
###### Using one will make your text look like this


Now I can use titles, subtitles and sub-subtitles to arrange my post as nicely as I want. There is one more thing, sometimes I write very long paragraphs and of course, perhaps you´ve noticed it if you look closely, these paragraphs always look like this. Looks messy right? I couldn´t find a feature to avoid this, I think it is called "justify" the text, you know? That thingy you do in word to make the paragraph look nice, clean and not coming from a 7 year old.

So all I have to do is add <div class="text-justify"><p> in the beggining of the text and then put </p></div> in the end and the same text will look like this:

So to end this small tutorial I want to quote Spiderman, so all I should do is add > right before the quote and it will look like this:

With great power comes great responsibility.

So now you know the very basics of editing with markdown, now it is your responsibility to use them wisely and add to your posts a bit of "pro" style.

Disclaimer: You can find this info everywhere online, I am just writing here what I use the most while writing on Steemit and I´m explaining it the easiest way I could. I hope it is useful for you, and your next post.

Of course I will tell you how to do the small letters! All I did was adding <sub> in the beginning of the text and then put </sub>

And Finally, to add a link without having to put all the url, you can do this [Your text goes here](www.steemit.com) and it will look like this: Your text goes here.

That´s it my friend, enjoy being a semi-pro now!
