Using Markdown I get random, enlarged boldface text in "Notes". Must turn it off to end behavior

Markdown working improperly. Initially, I coded a couple words to be bolded using example_words. It worked -- at first. Then it bolded and enlarged the entire sentence and I could not make it stop. In 'edit' mode, the asterisks did not appear so I could not delete them. I was only able to eliminate the bolding by removing the text entirely. Even when I retyped the text outside of 1Password, copied and inserted it in notes, the damn enlarged BF returned. Finally, I turned Markdown off and the problem went away. So no formatting. So is it impossible to use any formatting in 1Password? This happened in different entries.

Hi there @gsetser

Just a guess, but did you have a series of dashes below the text, like this?

```

```

If so, that'll make the text a header (larger and bold), which might explain why you didn't see any asterisks in the Markdown. A dividing line, ---, needs an empty line above and below so that it doesn't format any nearby text.

If you want to use a series of dashes without the text becoming a header, put a backslash \ at the beginning, like this:

Example text \---

When you save the note, the dashes will have been "escaped" so won't do any formatting.

I hope that helps, but let me know if I'm off track here and I'll be able to help you further. :)

Yes. That’s what I did. Thanks for responding. I’ll escape the dashes and I imagine that’ll fix the behavior.
