# Post X Articles and fix typos after posting, right from Hermoso

Write a long-form X Article in markdown and Hermoso formats it for X, headings, lists and tables included. And edit a post within the hour instead of deleting it.

By the Hermoso team · Launched August 26, 2026 · Updated September 20, 2026 · 4 min read

X has two features that make an account feel grown up: Articles, for long-form writing that lives on your profile, and editing, for the typo you spot four seconds after posting. Both are part of X Premium, and both now work from Hermoso.

## X Articles, straight from markdown

X does not take markdown or HTML for an Article. It takes its own structured format, and getting a heading, a list or a link to land in the right spot is fiddly. `post_x_article` does the converting. Give it a `title` and a `body` in markdown or plain prose and it carries across:

- headings and paragraphs

- bulleted and numbered lists

- blockquotes and dividers

- bold, italic and strikethrough

- links, code blocks and tables

If something cannot be shown in an X Article, like an image in the middle of a sentence, Hermoso tells you exactly what and why before posting, instead of quietly dropping it. Once you know, you can choose to post anyway.

Good uses: turn a thread that did well into an Article, tell the story behind a launch, or write the how-to people bookmark. In the Studio, ask turn this blog post into an X Article and it writes and formats it for you.

## Editing posts

`edit_x_post` changes the text of one of your own posts. Three things about how X edits work, so nothing catches you off guard:

- **You send the whole new text.** X replaces the post rather than patching part of it.

- **An edit gets a new link.** Hermoso hands you the new URL so you share the corrected version.

- **You have one hour from the original post,** and editing does not restart the clock. Each post can only be edited a few times.

Pass whichever post id you have, even an older one, and Hermoso finds the newest version to edit.

## Articles people finish reading

- **A title that promises one thing.** "How we cut our ad costs in half" beats "Some thoughts on marketing".

- **A heading every few paragraphs,** so readers can skim to the part they came for.

- **A table when you compare things.** Tables carry across from markdown, so use them.

- **A short list at the end** with the takeaways, and a link to where to learn more.

Ask the Studio to follow that shape and it will, or hand your agent a draft and let `post_x_article` handle the formatting.

## A friendly heads-up on limits

X allows each account 10 Article drafts and 5 published Articles per day, and a failed attempt counts toward that. Hermoso checks everything it can before sending, like a missing title, so a slip does not use up one of your five. If you do reach a limit, the message tells you which one and when it lifts.

## The rest of X, too

Posting to X from Hermoso already covers text, images, video, replies, threads, quote posts and polls. Articles and editing round it out, so an agent can run an X account end to end: post the thread, fix the typo, publish the long version as an Article on Friday.

## Questions people ask

### Can Hermoso publish X Articles?

Yes. post_x_article takes a title and a markdown body and converts headings, lists, quotes, formatting, links, code blocks and tables into X's Article format.

### Does my X account need Premium?

Articles and post editing are X Premium features, so the connected account needs Premium for them.

### How long do I have to edit a post on X?

One hour from the original post, and editing does not restart the clock. Each post can be edited a limited number of times.

### Why does an edited post have a new link?

X gives every edit a new post id. Hermoso returns the new link so you share the corrected version.

### How many X Articles can I post in a day?

X allows 10 Article drafts and 5 published Articles per account per day, and failed attempts count toward it.

### What if my Article has something X cannot show?

Hermoso names exactly what cannot be shown in an X Article, such as an image in the middle of a sentence, before anything is posted. You can fix it, or choose to post anyway knowing what will change.
