Microsoft introduces bold and italic styling, hyperlinks, and Markdown support in a significant update for its Windows Notepad app.
The update includes a formatting toolbar with options for bold, italic, hyperlink, lists, and headings for users to format their text.
Users can switch between formatted Markdown and Markdown syntax views, clear formatting easily, or disable the support in the Notepad app settings.
This update follows recent testing of a feature in Notepad that uses AI to generate text and marks a significant evolution from its traditional role as a basic log file reader.
