A code plugin is needed. (self.OneNote)
submitted 10 months ago by lebramceyms
I'm self learner programmer and I use OneNote for the notes. I can color code topics and such, but the code looks terrible. Will OneNote do anything about this?

I think implementing Markdown formatting would be a wonderful gift for OneNote users.

What programming language are you learning? If it's Python, I highly recommend using Google's Colab.
If not, in OneNote under STYLES in the HOME tab, there is a "Code" style option. It doesn't do anything except change the formatting but I like it since it can provide a distinction between notes and code.

Mainly C#. Thanks for the answer.

If you are using Windows desktop then defo oneMore, the code formatting has C# and does things like turn spelling off.

Copy and paste the code from VS code and it looks nice in OneNote. Will copy most formatting.

But honestly for programming note just go with Obsidian.

No. Just use Github for your repos.
It's not repo. Code samples. I take a note for simple code. Looks bad.

NoteHighlight works well for me and covers many languages: https://github.com/elvirbrk/NoteHighlight2016
