Markdown: incorrect/incomplete advice on iPassword help page?
I think your Markdown help page is possibly wrong or incomplete?
https://support.1password.com/markdown
I notice when I do a dash'd list, e.g:
- something
- something more
- something else
- something other
on hitting Save it ends up looking like:
• something
• something more
• something else
• something other
But your support page says that it's only an asterisks (*) that should make dots (•) on save: ● Bulleted list | * List item
I'm not that au fait with Markdown. Are there different versions on products that use it, or is this expected behaviour, just without the help page mentioning it?

From John Gruber's Markdown Syntax Documentation:
Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers

Yep; this is expected behavior. I'll file an issue for the documentation team to take a look. Thanks. :)

Thanks. Yeah I know Gruber invented it ;-)
Trouble is that the average user here isn't gonna know what's wrong, if it's not on the 1Password chart for them to see – or perhaps additionally on that page, simply add a link to Gruber's original Markdown Syntax Documentation page?

The difficulty with that is we (intentionally) don't support the full scope of markdown. We only support a subset.

That is a very valid point and I've asked our docs folks to look at how we can improve this.

Added a note to Format your secure notes with Markdown:
Asterisks (*), hyphens (-), or plus signs (+) all work.
