HOWTO: Styling your post on Steemit using Markdown
Hello Steemit community!
As Steemit supports Markdown I've decided to post a small guide for beginners here.
So what is Markdown?
Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.
Headers
# This is an <h1> tag
## This is an <h2> tag
###### This is an <h6> tag
Emphasis
*This text will be italic*
_This will also be italic_
**This text will be bold**
__This will also be bold__
_You **can** combine them_
Lists
Unordered
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 2a
* Item 2b
Ordered
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
* Item 3a
* Item 3b
Images

Format: ![Alt Text](url)

Blockquotes
As Kanye West said:
> We're living the future so
> the present is our past.
Inline code
I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.
Markdown Editors
There're markdown editors almost for all platforms
Windows: Markdownpad
Mac: MacDown
Linux: Remarkable
And there're also a lot of web-based editors.
Thanks a lot, hope you found this article quite helpful!
P.S. Material was mainly taken from guides.github.com
Thanks for the post. I already downloaded MarkdownPad2.
But it keeps crashing during generating the preview.
I assume you're on Windows platform, so you can try Remarkable.
It seems there're version for your OS :)
I found the problem. I needed to install awesomium_v1.6.6_sdk_win.exe. Now it works!
Thanks for the info. I have just checked at github but it seems the windows version is not ready yet.

Oh, thanks for letting me know.
There're also MdCharm for Windows.
But there's also cool web-based editor Dillinger.io
Dillinger.io is great.
Thanks! :)
