Hi, we saw that you tried to use Markdown in EasyEditor. EasyEditor is not a plain "Code editor" like on Steemit that requires you to know markdown, it is a block-based, user-friendly editor that works similar to Medium or Wordpress that makes it easy to create beautiful posts.

You can format text by selecting it or add new blocks such as images or headers by clicking the "+" icon when you start a new paragraph. For markdown/html snippets you can add a Code-block.
