According to this link, you can add pre-formatted text to 1pass notes, by prefixing each line with 4 spaces

https://support.1password.com/markdown/?linux

This doesnt appear to be working as intended, but instead truncates the preview of the note in some cases

Saving the note below

LINE 1
LINE 2

    LINE 3

LINE 4
LINE 5

Previews as

And this note

Hello @carpii! 👋

Thank you for the detailed report. This is a known issue that our development team is currently tracking and hopes to fix in a future update to 1Password.

For the time being, I recommend that you either remove the indent or turn off markdown so that you can see the complete contents of your Secure Note. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

@1P_Dave This 'Known Issue' should really be in the main support database - a search for 'Truncated notes' doesn't give anything.

I just lost half an hour trying to fix the issue by moving the text around in the notes (which worked with one note but not with another (which had some indents on a blank line) before I thought to check here.

I found the issue after having to reset a login passcode with the bank - I edited the note to include the new passcode and there was the old one - it just wasn't shown because of this issue.

1P needs to be a lot more transparent with bugs and known issues - or include results from the community in the search replies.

This is the second major bug in 1P this year that has significantly adversely affected me.

I hope the sloppy coding and poor testing hasn't spread into the secure side of the code - fundamental bugs like 'hiding information from the customer' by mistake because we didn't test the software properly prior to release aren't inspiring me with confidence.

I'm sorry for the disruption that the markdown issue has caused to your use of 1Password. I'll definitely pass your feedback along to the team, I can see how including community posts in search results on our support page would be useful for surfacing known bugs.

I've also added your report to our internal work item for the issue so that our development is aware that you're affected.
