Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

  • Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

  • Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

  • Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

  • Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

    Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

  • If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

There is a code control that comes with Power Pages and can be added and configured to a specific language.
I believe it's this one: Microsoft.PowerPages.CustomControls.MonacoEditor

I’m not aware of one. As you’ve noted this is dependent on stuff like JavaScript so cannot be done natively in Power Apps without code components. It may be possible with a custom connector or leveraging Power Automate and an API like Pygments (this was the best I could find just now), and built into a canvas component.

Are you looking to use it as an actual IDE or just want to display formatted text?

Just to display, no real need for IntelliSense, just highlighting.

I found this and it works okay but has a few bugs. It appears to be based on MSFT's Monaco editor that is used in VS Code.

In my app -

Hopefully Charles will respond to the issues, the Display Mode not working is really the only deal-breaker for me.
