Hey STEEMIT-

It's g4l!!!

I've been watching the community and seeing how rapidly excitement is growing and how trending posts have been shifting gradually to those of quality. The evolution within a week's time is extraordinary.

Anyway, STEEM seems promising... [regurgitate what everyone else has already said]! : )))

Now, I just wanted to give you some tricks to do some fancy formatting to add to your posts, plus it's fun for me. Here we go!

Paragraphs

• Bold

Syntax :
Use **bold** to bold a word **or a string**.
Another way is to use __bold__ to bold a word __or a string__.
Prints:
Bold to bold a word or a string.
Another way to bold a word or a string.

• Italics

This is how you ***italicize*** a word.
This is another way to __italicize__ a word.
Prints:

• Bold & Italics

Syntax:

I need this to be ***BOLD & ITALICS***.
I also need this to be ___BOLD & ITALICS___.
Prints:
I need this to be BOLD & ITALICS.
I also need this to be in BOLD & ITALICS.

Superscript

Syntax:
Super<sup>script</sup>
Prints:

Super^script

Or nest them:

Super^{scriptscriptscript}

---

Strikethrough

Syntax:

<strike>Strike this out.</strike>
Prints:

---

Headers

Need some different sized headers? Markdown supports 6 headers:

Header 1

Header 2

Header 3

Header 4

Header 5

Header 6

Syntax:

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
#### Header 4
##### Header 5
###### Header 6

---

Tables

Syntax:

First Header | Second Header | Third Header
------------ | ------------- | -------------
Steem | is | Cool
So | Are | Tables

Prints:

First Header	Second Header	Third Header
Steem	is	Cool
So	Are	Tables

---

Lists

Syntax:

+ Please
- Use
* Lists

Prints:

• Please

• Use

• Lists

You can also make an ordered list:

<ol>
<li>Please</li>
<li>Use</li>
<li>Lists</li>
</ol>

Prints

1. Please
2. Use
3. Lists

Or an un-ordered list:

<ul>
<li>Please</li>
<li>Use</li>
<li>Lists</li>
</ul>

Prints

• Please
• Use
• Lists

Links

This should be pretty easy, but why not add it:

Syntax:

[Steemit](https://steemit.com/)

Prints:

Steemit

Block Quotes

Edit: Failed : (
I'll find the correct syntax.

Using the backslash-escape

2016. What a time to be alive.
Will print:

1. What a time to be alive.

Use the \ key in order to preserve formatting as so:

2016\. What a time to be alive.
Prints:
2016. What a time to be alive.

Syntax:

Here is my first paragraph.
