Notepad Gains Markdown Formatting in Microsoft Update

Published

on

Microsoft has rolled out an update for Notepad on Windows 11, introducing support for Markdown formatting. This update, identified as version 11.2504.50.0 (or later), is currently available to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels, with a broader rollout to stable channels anticipated.

The new features allow users to apply lightweight text formatting directly within Notepad. This includes support for bold and italic text, strikethrough, hyperlinks, and various heading levels (e.g., H1, H2). Users can apply formatting via a new toolbar located above the text area or by typing standard Markdown syntax, which is then rendered instantly. The functionality extends to both .txt and .md files.

Microsoft states that the integration of these features is designed to provide “additional flexibility in how you structure content across your files” and supports users who prefer working with the lightweight markup language. For files under 1 MB, formatting is expected to render immediately, while larger files will load formatting progressively to prevent lag.

While some users have expressed a preference for Notepad to remain a simple, plain-text editor, Microsoft has included options to manage the new formatting. Users can clear all formatting from a document with a single click via the toolbar or edit menu. Additionally, the feature can be entirely disabled in the app’s settings, restoring the classic plain-text editing experience. Users can also toggle between formatted Markdown and raw Markdown syntax views through the view menu or the status bar.

Microsoft has affirmed that the new features are not expected to consume excessive resources or slow down the application. The updated version of Notepad is available for free download from the Microsoft Store. This update is part of a larger effort by Microsoft to modernize the Notepad application, which has seen additions like multiple tabs, a character counter, spell check, and autocorrect in recent years.

Published

on

Google today announced the launch of Veo 3, a video generation model, in the Middle East and North Africa region. The model is now available to Google AI Pro subscribers in the region.

Veo 3, which was initially released at Google I/O in May, is integrated into the Gemini app. Users can create custom eight-second videos with sound, dialogue, and music at 720p resolution by providing a text description, known as a “prompt”. The system generates all audio natively. Google states that Veo 3 provides quality in terms of physics, realism, and adherence to prompts.

To aid in identifying AI-generated content, a SynthID watermark is embedded in all content produced by Google’s generative AI models, including Veo 3. Google recently launched the SynthID Detector to early testers and plans to expand its access. Additionally, a visible watermark will be added to all videos generated by Veo 3, with the exception of videos created by Ultra members in Flow, Google’s tool for AI filmmakers.

Google AI Pro subscribers can access Veo 3 starting today.
