An Epic Guide for Markdown and HTML to make your Post look Excellen...

It's so lovely how everyone is busy trying to create good content to the community and hope it gets many upvotes. When your article is formatted in a neat and profesional way, it attracts readers and allows them to more easily understand the ideas you wish to present.

In this article, i will try to point out some html\markdown syntax which you can use to beautify your work and make it more readable by others.
Note: The following html/markdown is applicable to both steemit and busy.org

Now here a simple guide to using basic syntax:

HEADER

Use headers to make a title for each section of a post. Especially long posts are easier to read when there are sections and headers so it's easy to scroll from section to section.

<h6>###### using hashtags or html, it is the same effect. The more complex post you make, the less you use markdown, because markdown and html don't mix well</h6>

Paragraph

To start a paragraph : <p>Your text here</p>

Bullet

* text here
- text here

Result below:

text here

and here is the example in html:

Numbering/Alphabet

Numbering/Alphabet
Markdown sample shown below:
1. Your text here
2. Your text here
a. Your text here
b. Your text here
Result below:

Your text here
Your text here

Using Html for a numbered or bulleted list is almost the same thing. Here is an example of the ordered list shown above:

Quotation

Quotation > Text here or <blockquote>Text here </blockquote>

Result shown below:

Text here

For blockquote, if you are quoting more than one paragraph, you must open and close the blockquote for each paragraph. Otherwise Steemit will be confused and not render the code correctly.

Page break

Page break syntax: <br />. This creates a page break (space down or enter)

Multi-column

Multi-column allows you to have your text in two column. html syntax to use is : <div class=pull-left> Your text in here for the Left column </div>
<div class=pull-right> Your text in here for the Right column </div>
Result:

Centralize

Centralize allows your text or image to align to the center.

Text:<center>Your text here</center>

Line

draw a line of demacation <hr />

Result :

Link

Link for text [Your text in here](https:// Link here) or <a href="http link here">Your text here</a>

Inline code

Inline code syntax: `markdown/html code here`` or <code>markdown/html code here </code>

Result: markdown/html code here

Creating a Table

Number	Name	Objects

Now adding more text to the table, use the example shown below:

Result shown below:

Number	Names	Objects
1	knowledges	Syntax
2	Steem	Power

Note: Where "Text" is written as shown in the box above, picture link can also be used which means, you can either add a text to the table or a photo.

Video

Videos can not be added directly so you simply copy the video url as shown in the image below.

Once link is copied, paste it on your working space and centralise
The youtub embeded link looks like: <iframe width="1499" height="539" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-zf79kSZFAU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Image alignment

If you don't care about centering or aligning images just use the easy markdown to put and image in your document.

Image: ![Optional text](image link here)

Otherwise you can use the below html examples for a nicer looking post!

Copy/paste the following and edit

Centered Image: <center><img src=Image Link Here></center>
Centered Image with Source at bottom: <center><img src="Image Link Here" /><br /><a href="Image Source Link Here">Name Of Source</a></center>
Aligned Left of Text : <div class="pull-left"><img src="Image Link Here" /></div>
Aligned Right of Text : <div class="pull-right"><img src="Image Link Here" /></div>
Aligned Left of Text with Source at Bottom: <div class="pull-left"><center><img src="Image Link Here"/><br /> <a href="Image Source Link Here">Name Of Source</a></center></div>
Aligned right of Text with Source at Bottom: <div class="pull-left"><center><img src="Image Link Here"/><br /> <a href="Image Source Link Here">Name Of Source</a></center></div>
Align image with text and source: <div class="pull-left"><center><img src="Image Link Here"/><br /> <a href="Image Source Link Here">Name Of Source</a></center></div><p>Your text here</p>

Practical example below:

<div class="pull-left"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmUTo8NZXPWNuriBijmJHK65Pox641fwn4tYoPsQje3XYC/steemlll.png" /><br /><a href="https://i0.wp.com/kyusho.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Steemit.png">[Image sorce]</a></div><p> It's good to see how the platform steemit is transforming, Creating a very powerful community that stands to help one another grow.
