Markdown in an entries Notes field (not a Secure note) oddity?

camner

In a login entry, I typed the following into the Notes field:

After saving the entry, this is what the Notes field looked like:

The **text** markdown was correctly interpreted as bold. But, it appears that having three (or more...I tried that too) dash characters on the line AFTER some text gets interpreted as "bold and a larger font size"!

Is this a feature? A bug? An easter egg?

Hey how have you been?

Put a space after the text above and below the line. I think that is what you are after here. Star star yourtext star star would indicate bold.

Thanks, @ag_tommy, but that’s not quite what I as talking about. I understand well that **yyy*** results in bold, which is what I would expect in markdown. It’s the larger font bolded “xxx” that I don’t understand. What seems to cause that is just putting a number of hyphen characters on the line following some text that results in that behavior. THAT’s what strikes me as odd!

Hi @camner,

It seems this is related to some alternative input options for headings in markdown where --- and === can be used for level 1 and 2 headings:

If the goal is to get the dividing line, use --- with a blank line before and after, like line 3 and 4 in the example above. I'll include some related links:

• Basic Syntax | Markdown Guide
• Format your secure notes with Markdown

Let me know how that works for you or if you have any questions. 🙂
