Markdown editor and viewer for attachments

I don't know if this belongs to the group KeePass or KeePass_2.x.
In the end it would be nice if the functionality is implemented for KeePass_2.x.

RTF is more than enough for tables and lists and support is built-in. And the editor has easy icon access to formatting.

I also store things like equipment model, serial, warranty etc. I only use custom fields for these and have not found a need for attachments.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for the reply.

Perhaps I don't have enough know-how about .rtf formatting, but from my understanding this does not work in Keepass. I am not able to create the following:

• An ordered or generic list
• second item
• third item

And a:

1. Numbered list
2. second item
3. third item

A table like the following:

The only options that are available are:

• Font
• Font size
• Bold/Italic/Underline/Strikeout
• Text and background colour
• Alignment

Of course you can add 1. in front of the list, but that is nothing more than numbers including the dot with a return in it. The same goes for the * for an unordered/generic list.
For tables idem ditto, if you have an extensive list and you want to add a column then you have to change all the entries too.

I also store things like equipment model, serial, warranty etc. I only use custom fields for these and have not found a need for attachments.

If I may continue about this part: I have 23 Makita power tools (including batteries), each of them has:

1. Model number, like GA9050R
2. Production date (useful for batteries since they have a certain lifespan)
3. Expiration date of the warranty
4. Friendly / generic name for me

The Entry strings can contain only a name and a value. But I should create (23x4=)92 entries for storing this information whereas a table is the perfect tool for the job?
Adding or editing these string fields is not the proper way to do that. I know it is possible, but this is not a solution, it is a workaround.

Again I would kindly ask to reconsider in the team for the option to support Markdown in Keepass.

I am not the only one if I continue to search on the internet for Markdown support:

• https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1057 (Yes, it is KeepassXReboot, but still a request that people are waiting (and wanting) for
• https://www.reddit.com/r/KeePass/comments/11jxxtu/keepass_notes/ (In the Subreddit of KeePass they are referencing it to KeePassXC)
• https://community.bitwarden.com/t/add-additional-formatting-options-to-secure-notes-rich-markdown/14517 (for Bitwarden)

Please see also the popularity of Rich Text Format and Markdown on Google Trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Markdown,Rich%20Text%20Format&hl=nl

It's a lot of work to include your request and our very small team (1) doesn't have the time to add everything that people want.

If you must have those features, attach a document / spreadsheet.

cheers, Paul

If you have a markdown editor that is associated with a file extension, KeePass will open and edit these attachments with the associated markdown editor. The process for editing and re-importing is a tiny bit more cumbersome than having a built in viewer/editor, but quite workable. See https://keepass.info/help/base/security.html#secattach for security information about working with attachments in KeePass.

Ok all clear, thank you for the fast response(s)!

For anyone who has the same problem. You can use Zettlr for edit Markdown files. It is free, privacy friendly and open source.
