Format a Secure Note to include BOLD TEXT
I'm in the minority when it comes to notes. I want to ADD bold text, not remove it. As a new user with a steep learning curve, I'm not using all the capabilities of 1 Password, but enough to make...
I have solved the mystery. (I think!) Markdown on Windows 11 desktop is only enabled in the first white field of a secure note. "The text here says: add any notes about this item here." I've filled it green.
For additional notes which contain filters such as text, URL etc.; these do not support markdown. I've shown it with a green arrow. I'm happy now.
Should there be more nuance or information. I'm all ears.
Playing with it in a safe place such as a Secure Note is ideal. You can copy and paste my post* (thanks to how Markdown isn't properly handled on this platform) into a note to see how all of Markdown works, or doesn't in the case of unsupported features.
If you're not used to markup, i.e. typing text to change the presentation of text - of which Markdown is a very popular example, then it takes a little practice to become comfortable with the idea. With enough practice you may start preferring it over "rich" text editors.
I gave this a try and struck out. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I believe I'll discover it eventually.
Thank you.

Hi Tyrone2,
I appreciate your curiosity and sticking with 1Password to get the most out of it! I've submitted the feature request and also wanted to pass along our own support page with the basics of Markdown to use in secure notes: https://support.1password.com/markdown/?windows.
