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 *.

You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:

Gists
Comments in Issues and Pull Requests
Files with the .md or .markdown extension

It's very easy to make some words bold and other words italic with Markdown. You can even link to Google!

To make words bold , simply put a pair of ** and put the words to be bold in between the pair of ** and the words will be in bold

To make words italic , simply put a pair of * and put the words to be bold in between the pair of * and the words will be in italic

To create a link , simply put [ ] for the link text , followed by the link to direct to in ()

This is a simple guide, hope you Steemians like it.
