MAKING A BOLD TEXT AND ITALICS

---

Italics emphasizes a word, whereas bold lettering emphasizes it. Two asterisks** are used without space before and after the phrase to produce strong writing. The inclusion of a single asterisk * before and after the text distinguishes italics.

E.g
EDUCATION IS POWER

EDUCATION IS POWER

HEADLINES

---

To make a header, place a number sign (#) in front of a word or phrase. The number of number signs you use has an inverse relationship with the size of the headline. As the number of number signs increases, the size of the headline should decrease, and it should match to the heading level. To construct a heading level five, for example, use five number signs. It is demonstrated as follows:

Headline level 1

Headline level 2

Headline level 3

Headline level 4

Headline level 5

CREATING TABLES

---

To make a table, use hyphens. Use three or more hyphens to create each column's heading, and pipes (|) to split each column. For compatibility, you need also add a pipe at either end of the row. You can use colon(s) on the left, right, or both sides to align the text left, right, or center. This is accomplished as follows:

Country	Capital
Nigeria	Abuja
Ghana	Accra
USA	Washington
