Following as well. We have a lot of code documentation in Coda.
Markdown editors elsewhere have good models for support

This is by far the biggest blocker I have for potentially switching from Notion to Coda - without syntax highlighting Coda is a complete nonstarter for writing technical specs IMO, especially since all its major competitors (Notion, Slite, Dropbox Paper) all have it already.
Could we get an update from someone on the Coda team to hear if this is being considered for the roadmap in the near future?

2 and a half years later and this has not been implemented? I canât honestly believe it. There are literally hundreds of libraries that will do it.
Just plug this in in the Code Block component: https://highlightjs.org â Itâs not that hard.

@Coda team, any particular reason why this feature is not being considered into the product? Just curious

+1 Itâs one of few CONS in comparison with Notion⌠

Totally agreed! This is the biggest Cons as a developer user.

+1, I would need it for writing C# courses

Weâre managing our startup through Coda
- We write Specs in Coda - they have snippets - without syntax highlighting this is hard.
- We collect customer input for product management here - has code snippets
This is just too basic a feature to be missing

Code blocks with syntax highlighting would be a huge feature and would be the primary reason Iâd switch from Google docs to Coda for our architectural design docs.
Any updates on this?

Hey Coda team, can we get an update on the 3 year old request? Itâs got a lot of interest and seems like a fairly straightforward one as far as improvements go?

Hi @Josh_Unwin1 and our Maker Community!
We are 100% aware of this feature request for Coda, and have done some early explorations on it. In the spirit of transparency, you mayâve seen in our Series D Announcement that one of our priorities right now is building the next generation of the Coda editor. This is a huge undertaking spanning several engineering teams at Coda, but will enable a lot of new scenarios and use cases when complete.
Weâre targeting a Q4 release date for the new editor, at which time weâll be able to add new editing experiences to Coda. I understand this means we donât have an elegant, native solution for code syntax in the near term, but itâs something we continue to keep in mind while building the next-gen editor.
Weâll share more details when theyâre available, and we thank you for your patience while we lay a new foundation to address feature requests like these.

Hi Andrew, thanks so much for the transparency, the excitment for a next generation editor coming this year eclipses the lack of code highlighting for me.

I would just like to add my +1 for this, I would really like to move over from Notion, but thatâs impossible without syntax highlighting⌠I canât believe an app called âcodaâ doesnât have code syntax highlighting. I will wait for the next-gen editor and hope that this feature is added, as everything else looks pretty good!
Any updates on this new editor?
The lack of Syntax highlighting in code blocks is a major blocker for us
Hi Juan â Syntax highlighting in code blocks still isnât supported, but something the team continues to explore.
One alternative while we explore this would be to embed a github gist, but that would require hosting the code somewhere else.
Weâll be sure to circle back as we make progress here!

As we are finishing 2021 Q4. Do you have any updates on syntax highlight? This is really a big blocker on our side⌠Is this something you would fund with the Maker Fund program? We really need this feature and would even consider making a pack or extension ourselves⌠
