Markdown formatting and line breaks not recognized when creating notes

[9j7axvsLuF]

I found a (perhaps hacky) solution: converting the content of the note from markdown to html using the markdown package before passing it to Zotero, like so:

note_content = markdown.markdown(note_content)

There might be a better way to do this though!

It looks like the escaping is being inserted on the server side. Here's the JSON Pyzotero sends in its POST request:

{"itemType": "note", "note": "# Note Title\n\nThis is a note.", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}}

I'll see whether someone on the Zotero side knows what's going on.

Thanks for the quick response! In any case the html trick shared above works great. Perhaps there could be args in a future version of pyzotero to automatically handle the markdown-to-html conversion for markdown content, or at least something in the docs to explain how to preserve formatting (unless, of course, Zotero decides to change their API).
