Write note in markdown format through API

[Jose Caraballo Cova]

Hello, quick question regarding notes. I want to create one via your API in Markdown format. I have tried with something like this:
 

data ="""
HEADING
=========
* List
    * sublist
"""

project.create_note(data, my_user)

But it's not being displayed properly ( plain text not in markdown). How a note created through this method should look like to in order to be displayed correctly?
