The Windows notes now allows you to work with a format text thanks to Markdown support

Microsoft has not stopped adding new functions to classic notes. For example, recently this application has won a spelling concealer (it is the same one that Windows uses in the rest of the programs) and has suffered an integration with Copilot. Although it was announced in May, it seems that this is already being displayed New Update of the Notes Bloc that introduces one more function: the possibility of using Text format via Markdown.

Therefore, the great novelty is the Native Support for this Light Marking Language which allows to apply basic format to the text, such as bold, italics, lists or headers, without resorting to more complex editors. Likewise, notes can Read and edit Markdown files and also allows you to write directly in this format.

To facilitate the edition, Microsoft has added a New toolbar which offers fast accesses to apply styles, insert links or create lists. These options can be used both while writing and selecting existing text.

In addition, experience is totally customizable. If the user prefers to continue working only with flat text, he can deactivate the format at any time. It is also possible erase the entire format Applied to a document from the Edit menu or from the toolbar. Another useful novelty is the option of Alternate between the view with format and the Markdown syntaxAvailable in the View menu or by a new button at the bottom of the window.

For those who want completely deactivate format compatibility. In this way, the application can continue to function as a fully flat text editor. Now, for those looking for a simple Markdown editor and do not want to install anything, the notes just become a true ally.
