Hello guys this is a kinda guide that will show you how to use these both programations languages, they would totally help you to improve the quality of your content if you use them properly. Also, I'll be giving you some tips that could attract whales to your content.
Let's begin
First, what's HTML and Markdown?
HTML
HTML is a programming language used for web developers. This is the acronym for HyperText Markup Language, i.e. Hypertext Markup Language.
Markdown
Markdown is a markup language that makes it easy to format text using a series of characters in a special way. In the beginning, it was thought to elaborate texts whose destination was going to be the web with more speed and simplicity than if we were using HTML directly. And while that's usually the best use we can make of it, we can also use it for any type of text, regardless of where it's going to go.
Now that you are familiar with the terms let's see some of their functions, are you ready? Stay tuned till the end.
Titles or headers
- HTML:
Place a HTML code using, < h1> Text < /h1> to make your text larger, you will only have six codes posibilities those are:
<h1>Title</h1>
<h2>Title</h2>
<h3>Title</h6>
<h4>Title</h6>
<h6>Title</h6>
<h6>Title</h6>
You will get something like this:
Title

- Markdown:
To make a text larger, place the # sign followed by a space before the text.
For example:
# Tittle
The more you place the # sign, the smaller the text will be. It is only possible to place up to 6 characters.
Placing this codes:
# Title
## Title
### Title
#### Title
##### Title
You will get something like this
Title
Title

Quotes
To create the citation format in the text simply place the ">" sign followed by a space and then the text.
For example:
This is a quote.
If you want to combine one appointment with another, you should set it up as follows:
> This is a quote.
> >This quote belongs to the first
This is a quote.
This quote belongs to the first
Another way to quote is using this code
<div class="pull-right">
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th bgcolor="#FF0000"><center><h6>PUT YOUR QUOTE HERE</h6></center>
<center><h6>AUTHOR</h6></center></th>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>
It looks like this
QUOTEAUTHOR |
---|
Lists
Lists are used to sort or list the content. Just type - or 1. followed by a space and then the text.
Let's see an example

Code blocks
The code blocks allow you to format the language so that it has no effect.

You can even add more bars to add more columns
Paragraphs
To jump to another line just type Enter but when we use HTML codes we must insert a line break with
<br> or <p>
and then enter. If not, our text will be stuck to the next paragraph.
To insert a text separator line just type
"---" or just <hr>
and enter.
To center the text type
<center>Text centered</center>
To place our text on the left, type the following.
<div class='pull-left'>Text</div> and if right <div class='pull-right'>Text</div>
To place our justified text we type the following.
<div class='text-justify'>Text justified</div>
Image
To place our image on the left, type the following.
<div class='pull-left'>Image link</div>
and if it is to the right
<div class='pull-right'>Image link</div>
Sources
This might be one of the most important parts of steemit tbh, using sources of your images will give you the credibility you shall use it next to your link image.
You can either use
<a href="Link"></a> or [](Link)
Witdh
the width can be adjusted by varying the percentage of this code
<table style="width:100%">
