Question

Undocumented markdown creates multi-line headings for text followed by --- on a new line

I had to troubleshoot why my text was turning giant. The following will appear in very large type:

Any words
followed by
three dashes are giant
---

(The markdown in this forum works the same so I had to escape the first dash with a backslash.)

Is this a feature? If so please document it on https://support.1password.com/markdown/

Hi there @Staplehorse

Yes, we call this out on https://support.1password.com/markdown/ here:

If you put --- on the line immediately below some text, that text will be formatted as Heading 2, as per the Markdown standard. Hope that helps! :)

The 1Password markdown page tells part of the story. IMO it would be useful to mention the effect if you don't leave an empty line above and below "---" because it's the only way to get adjacent lines with a heading format (starting each line with ## puts a space between lines).

Yes, it's part of the markdown standard, but if there's are more markdown features supported by 1Password than are documented at 1Password.com then a link to a relevant full reference page would be useful.
