Secure Notes and Markdown

Thanks, brenty, for your comment. At your suggestion, I prefixed and ended my text on my Secure Note with ```. The Security Note is still a complete mess. In other words, it fails. My text is altered and is a mess. It is altered because some of my text is interpreted as Markdown. Some valuable characters are no longer visible and the formatting has been screwed up. To say I am disappointed with this enhancement would be an understatement.

My only solution NOW is to ignore my Secure Note as presented. Instead, I put it in Edit Mode to see what I had originally. How is this better?

Hello Dave,

I appreciate you're willingness to help.

Just so we are on the same page, I will be verbose in my description.

I am using my personal computer for editing my 1Password Secure Note.

Steps:

1. Open up the Secure Note that I want to edit
2. At the very beginning of the Secure Note, insert a few blank lines
3. On the top line, type ``` . That is the key on the far left hand side of the keyboard just below the ESC key. It is repeated three times to designate pre-formatted text.
4. At the very bottom of the Secure Note, insert a few blank links.
5. Similar to Step 3, at the very bottom type ```.

In theory, we should have marked everything in between the top and bottom lines as pre-formatted text. My problem ought to be solved.

Now, when I go to my iPhone X and look at the Secure Note's contents, they are a mess. One item has been treated as though it were a title because it begins with a hash mark. Other stuff has been altered to form italics, and other stuff is in red texted boxes. If I were to pore over the stuff, I suspect I would find missing characters because they are being used as interpret Markdown.

I have done just as you have done in your example. I have on the first and last lines the pre-formatted text code. I even left several spaces after the code on the first and last lines. So everything in between ought to be treated as pre-formatted text and left unaltered. Unfortunately, that is not the situation.

I'd love to post my example, but that would not be wise.

My only solution is the put the Secure Note into Edit Mode. Then I can see my note as I had intended. I just need to be careful that I don't make an edit.

Hello Dave,

My note is long and complex at about 170 lines. It contains a lot of important stuff, keys to my magic kingdom.

What I could try and do is redo my Secure Note with other dummy data. I can leave some of the troublesome characters in. I know that they are troublesome because the formatting changes at those locations. And then, once I have a dummy Secure Note that fails just like my real Secure Note, I can forward it to you.

You will have to allow me some time to create this dummy note.

Thank you for your quick response.

brenty, I should add that I would very much appreciate a better way to disable to Markdown. A switch to disable Markdown would be fantastic. On page where you allow users to specify tags and other parameters, I would appreciate seeing a Boolean operator for Markdown. Use Markdown on this page? True or False.

@brenty, thank you for your investigation and reporting back.

With regard to Markdown, I suspect (read, hope) you'll want to do both now. Some users will want the ``` solution. Myself, I would prefer to be able to use Boolean operator for the entire page. I don't necessarily want or need pre-formatted text, but I need to avoid Markdown on this specific Secure Note. Still, I can see others who might have a mixture of pre-formatted and Markdown text on their Secure Notes.
