The bytefield plugin allows users to create visual byte-field diagrams directly within their notes using simple code blocks. These diagrams are useful for illustrating data layouts in structured formats like network packets or binary files, with each field mapped to a specific byte length. Users can define fields with names and sizes, specify starting offsets, add unnamed padding bytes, and even allow fields to wrap across rows if they exceed available space. It's a lightweight and practical tool for developers, reverse engineers, or protocol designers who need to represent low-level data structures in a clear, visual format.
