<h3>Excellent greetings to you all steemians!</h3>
It has really marveled me that as I move on, on the ladder of these beginners achievements, I keep learning amazing things that has generally helped my knowledgebase.<br/> <br/>
So, today, we will be looking into one of the sweetest tasks given to me that I found interesting to talk about – Markdowns.<br/>
<br/>
<hr/><hr/>
<h3>WHAT ARE MARKDOWNS?</h3>
According to Wikipedia, “Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.” [Source]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown)<br/>
This simply depicts that, with the use of markdowns, one could easily format a sentence, paragraph, table, images or videos to suit his/her desires. These markdowns in other words can also be called “extra symbols” that “helps you create a document with an explicit structure” [Source](https://opensource.com/article/19/9/introduction-markdown)<br/>
Markdowns are very important because “It makes it easier for non-tech writers to produce documentation that can be collaborative and flexible at the same time.” [Source](https://www.writethedocs.org/guide/writing/markdown/)

<h3>LET’S SEE A FEW OF THEM</h3><br/>

<hr/><hr/>
**1. SUB SCRIPT**
<p>Texts and numbers could be made to appear in several forms. One of these forms is the sub script feature which is represented with the "< sub > < / sub >" tag in markdowns. Let’s see an example using the carbon four oxide symbol in chemistry.</p>
CO < sub > 2 < / sub > <br/>
**The output is shown below.** <br/>
CO<sub>2</sub>
<br/>
<hr/><hr/>
**2. ALIGNING TEXT INTO TWO CELLS** <br/>
In cases where you want to create a text that must appear in column-like format, you’ll have to make use of the aligning feature of pull-right or pull-left. This is illustrated in the example below.<br/>
< div class = " pull-right " >This is for the right text. Now that you have seen how to align a text in two cells, kindly take note that this is where you place the first text to be aligned right. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below. < / div >
Then, this is for the left text. Now that you have seen how to align a text in two cells, kindly take note that this is where you place the second text to be aligned left. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below. <br/>
**The output will be like the one below**
<div class="pull-right">This is for the right text. Now that you have seen how to align a text in two cells, kindly take note that this is where you place the first text to be aligned right. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below. </div>
This is for the left text. Now that you have seen how to align a text in two cells, kindly take note that this is where you place the second text to be aligned left. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below. <br/>
<hr/><hr/>
**3. JUSTIFY TEXT**
There are times you may want to write a complete article and would want to make it as fine and easy to read as possible. In order to make your work look nice, using the justification markdown is very important because it makes the text have an equal edge on both left and right sides. This works as shown below.<br/>
<p>< div class = "text-justify" >Now that you have seen how to justify a text, kindly take note that this place is where you place the text to be justified. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below. < / div ></P><br/>
**Output**
<div class"text-justify">Now that you have seen how to justify a text, kindly take note that this place is where you place the text to be justified. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below. </div><br/>
</div>
**But without Justify, you'll have it this way**
<p>Now that you have seen how to justify a text, kindly take note that this place is where you place the text to be justified. And it appears as beautiful as it is displayed below.</p>
<div class="text-justify">
<hr/><hr/>
**4. ADDING HEADING** <br/>
It is almost impossible to write a complete article and have no headings. The markdown for heading helps to add an eye-catching text that simply appears to be a little bigger and bolder than others. In order to do that, you have to add the “#” symbol in front of the text you want to make bigger. The number of “#s” added In front of the text indicates the size of the heading.
**Example** <br/>
<p># Steemit is good<br/>
## Steemit is good<br/>
### Steemit is good<br/>
#### Steemit is good<br/>
##### Steemit is good<br/>
###### Steemit is good</P><br/>
**The output will be like this** <br/>
<p><h1>Steemit is good</h1>
<h2>Steemit is good</h2>
<h3>Steemit is good</h3>
<h4>Steemit is good</h4>
<h5>Steemit is good</h5>
<h6>Steemit is good</h6></p>
<hr/><hr/>
**5. ADDING LINKS** <br/>
Links are a vital form of making references in an article. They help you achieve a plagiarism-free work. Hence, the steemit blockchain encourages everyone to learn how to use these methods of making references. Below is an example on how it works.
<p>[link](https://steemit.com/@bennethade)</p>
This will make the above link to appear in this form.<br/>[link](https://steemit.com/@bennethade)<br/> Hence, making it clickable. <br/>
<hr/><hr/>
**6. ADDING A LINE BREAK**
The importance of breaking lines are always on the high side. Because, it makes sentences and paragraphs or other items on the webpage to be in segments. This makes it easier for the readers to read. In order to use the line break feature, you have to add the < br > tag at the end of whatever text, paragraph or object you want to separate from the items below it.<br/>
