This is a must have feature. Why not to implement it? it will look much better and it doesn’t require much work ---

Would very much appreciate this getting prioritized. Notion has this and it just works. ---

+1 Hopefully soon!! there some workarounds, but native would be much better. ---

This is a deal breaker, it’s a great product but this will stop me from trialing ---

It’s not the same as native support, but @Eric_Koleda made [a pack for this](https://coda.io/packs/code-blocks-11298) ---

I gave up and moved on… I moved over from Notion as I assumed this would be solved as it seems like such a basic feature. Anyway, maybe one day they will add it… ---

I was honestly really surprised coda didn’t have this - it’s an absolute must have for me ---

Honestly very surprised that Coda doesn’t have this, even more surprised that users have been asking for it this long and have gone ignored. I just signed up and was ready to make the switch to Coda, without this basic feature, I’d much rather go back to Notion. It’s unfortunate, I was really looking forward to working with Coda. ---

👋 hello! I’m a PM here at Coda. I have some good news, we are currently scoping syntax highlighting 🎉 I’d love to hear from ya’ll which languages we should support in this feature. Please thread with which languages you’d like to see 👇 & thank you for all your feedback! ---

I’m just adding a suggestion to the others above 😇 : - Coda Formula Language (`CFL`) … Please 🥺 … The reasons are : 1. CFL is only available within :coda: Coda 2. I often write Coda formulas within code blocks for various reasons but each time, I have to highlight them manually so they match the formula editor (and are easier to re-read later) which honestly, depending on the length of the formula, can be a pain 😇 . 3. As again, CFL is only available within :coda: Coda, it would be a bit strange and sad to have to tell the code block to use any other language than CFL when wanting to use it for a Coda formula 😅… [Previous page](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/code-block-syntax-highlighting/1214.md?page=3) [Next page](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/code-block-syntax-highlighting/1214.md?page=5)
