Markdown Notes

It is possible to use Markdown syntax to add some styling and formatting to password notes. This page shows and explains the markdown syntax available for the notes.

⭐ Some apps don't support markdown styling for notes and will show plain text instead

Bold

Text can be formatted as bold by adding two ** before and after the text. If more than one line should be bold, every line needs to marked separately.

Example

**BOLD**

**
This
doesn't
work
**

Result

BOLD

** This doesn't work **

Italic

Text can be formatted as italic by adding underscores (_) before and after the text. If more than one line should be bold, every line needs to marked separately.

Example

_ITALIC_

_
This
doesn't
work
_

Result

ITALIC

_ This doesn't work _

Lists

It is possible to create numbered lists and bullet point lists. Numbered lists can be created by starting the line with a number. The first number is the number the list items start with, after that the items will be incremented automatically no matter what number is used. Bullet point lists can be created by starting the list items with * or - . It is not possible to mix the two within a list. It is possible to create a list within a list item by intending the list items with two spaces.

Example

1. First Point
2. Second Point
3. Third Point
2. The numbers don't actually matter

- Bullet Point
- Bullet Point
- Bullet Point

* Bullet Point
* Bullet Point
* Bullet Point


* Bullet Point

  with more than one line
* Bullet Point
  1. First subitem
* Bullet Point
  * Subitem

Result

1. First Point
2. Second Point
3. Third Point
4. The numbers don't actually matter

• Bullet Point

• Bullet Point

  with more than one line

Tables

The syntax for tables is a little more complex. It is always required to create a header and a body for the table. The column count should be the same for all rows of the table, and there can never be more columns than in the header. The header and body are separated by a row where every column is filled with at least three hyphens, (e.g. ---).

Example

| Header 1 | Header 2 |
| --- | --- |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
| | Column 2 |
| Column 1 | |

Result

Header 1	Header 2
Column 1	Column 2
	Column 2
Column 1

Horizontal Lines

Lines can be created with by leaving a line empty and then writing at least three hyphens at the beginning of the next line that contains nothing otherwise. If the empty line is omitted, the previous text will become a headline instead.

Example

Text

---
Text

---Doesn't work

Result

Text

---

Text

---Doesn't work

Links

Links can be created by just adding any valid url to the text. It is also possible to create a text link by writing the text with square brackets [] and the link with regular brackets just afterwards (). Headlines can also be linked to, by starting the link with a pound sign # and then writing the headline with hyphens - instead of spaces.

Example

[Example Link](https://www.example.com)

https://www.example.com

[Go to *BOLD*](#bold)

Result

Example Link

https://www.example.com

Go to BOLD

Quotes

Text can be formatted as quote or blockquote by adding a > at the beginning of the line. You need to have at least ony empty line after a quote, otherwise the following text will still be formatted as quote.

Example

> First line of
quoted text
> Second line

Not quoted text

Result

First line of quoted text Second line

Not quoted text

Code

It is possible to format text as code block.

Example

```
Code

Example

## H2
### H3
#### H4
##### H5
###### H6

Result

H1
