It is highly recommended that you properly format your post before submitting it. To create your content on Steemit you can either use the "Editor" or "Markdown" mode. The following is a brief summary of some of the most common formatting commands available in Steemit Submit a Story Markdown window.
These tips derived from tutoring sessions with @razvanelul[1] as well as this GitHub's Markdown Cheat Sheet.[2] In addition, You can also use HTML tags if you are not using the Markdown Editor.

Large Text (Header)

To create large text, use an # , or by using the <h1> tag
The more ##### you use the SMALLER the text will appear.
Make sure to leave a space between the # and the word you want to enlarge.

  • Largest is # word, or <h1> word </h1>
  • Smallest is ###### word, or <h6> word </h6>

Bold

To make a word appear in bold font, use ** before and after the word.
You do NOT need to leave spaces between the ** and the word.
You can also use the <b> tag.

  • word : **word**
  • word : <b> word </b>

Italics

To make a word appear in italics use a single * on each side of the word.

You can also use the <em> tag.

Link

To link a website to a word or phrase in your post, use [ ] and ( ).
The text goes in the [ ] and the link goes in the ( )
