A new version of Notepad for Windows 11 was released with support for Markdown, the popular markup language for all kinds of text. The update adds support for subheadings, italics and bold text, strikethrough text, and links.
Not all users are happy about Microsoft adding new features to Notepad, as the app is intended to be a simple, no-frills text editor. However, Bleeping Computer reports that anyone who wants to disable the formatting feature can do so.
According to Microsoft, there’s no risk that the new features will use extra resources or slow down the program. The new version of Notepad can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Store.
