You can use the online default Steemit markdown editor to write your article and post it once it is finished. The markdown editor has several features that allow you to format your article in a nice and reading friendly manner. Some of commonly use feature are:-
Heading
the hash # symbol is used to create a big Heading for your article. It is placed before and after the word or sentence. Example (# Heading words #). One # key is used for h1 as in the case of HTML code. ## is used for H2... ###### is used for H6 and so on.
Bold
The double * symbol is used to force a bold wording or sentence.
Example (** words to be bold ** - No space between the word and **).The similar effect in HTML coding is to replace the double * before and after the word to be bold.
Italic Word
The single * symbol is used to force an Italic word or sentence.
Example (* words to be bold * - no space between the word and *). A similar effect in HTML coding is to replace the double * before and after the word to be bold.
Wrap Text around an image
This feature is more helpful to format your article in a very nice looking arrangement. The markdown code can use to pull the image to the right and align the text to the left and vice versa
Markdown code for wrap text is as follows
<div" class=pull-left> ( without the " after <div )
Insert image or text after this line
This is an example to force an image to the left of the column and wrap the text around the image to the right. This feature is extremely versatile to format the article such that it looks very neat and professional. It is also used to break the monotonous feeling from the reader of your article. Another excellent benefit of using this markdown code is the image and text are responsive to mobile device width.
You can align the image to the right by changing the code to <div" class=pull-right> ( without the " after <div )
