- The notes are obtaining light text format skills, but only in the tests
- These allow you to use in bold and italics, headers and lists.
- Some people appreciate those extras of format, while others see them as an additional swelling, although in this case, functionality can be turned off
The notes are obtaining light text format skills in the tests, in another movement to extend the set of application characteristics that has proven to be foreseeably divisive.
Microsoft wrote a blog post that describes the changes that began to be implemented in the Windows 11 testers in the development channels and channels through an update of the application of notes (version 11,2504.50.0).
Format capabilities are a slight pinch of support for bold and italics, hyperlinks, as well as headers (in a more prominent source) and basic lists (using bullet points and the like).
Microsoft explains that the ‘Markdown’ format syntax is used, which means that this maintains the simple and simplified implementation. In addition, this format support can be deactivated in the configuration of the notes bloc if it will not use it, and does not want it to stay.
Analysis: Light (format) and shadow
This sounds like a potentially useful movement, so why is it divisive as I indicated from the beginning? If you examine some Reddit threads in this addition to the notes, although you will see that there are some users who approve this plan, it will not spend much time before you meet someone who is not happy with the introduction of the text format here.
The reason why some people have beef with what Microsoft is doing with the notes, in terms of adding more and more functions, which has been the case for a while, is that it is supposed to be a light text editor, quick to load and receptive. The fear is that unnecessary swelling will tax the application and stop it.
However, in this case, additional format options will be quite useful for some (especially those people who are lost Wordpad, the other more developed text editor than Microsoft canns a while ago). And as implemented in Markdown, as noted, any impact on yield must be minimal (or with non -existent luck). In addition to that, it is possible to deactivate the format, this is not a characteristic that should contribute to any concern about swelling.
Extra, on the other hand, well, that could be a different fish teapot, but it is clear enough that Microsoft is ready to continue traveling along the way to provide fresh functionality for the notes.
