0 yeahoffline 1 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 i need that feature ASAP. Please add it to evernote soon Link to comment
0 b_d_m_p 1 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This request has been going on for years. Clearly Evernote is not interested in implementing it even though users like us are the core of their business. I suggest we all use Quiver instead. It is made for code and is practically identical to Evernote. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quiver-programmers-notebook/id866773894?mt=12 1 Link to comment

0 felixsanz 0 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 This feature request is alive for almost 5 years now. Kinda sad that none at evernote cares. Link to comment
0 Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,115 Posted December 13, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted December 13, 2015 While I'd love full syntax highlighting, a great start would be if you would just maintain a paste of code from a code editor as it is pasted.Currently, all of the indents are removed after the Note is sync'd. For example, a paste of code from the Mac Script Editor, in either AppleScript or JXA. Link to comment
0 AntoineG 5 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 +1 I've been waiting a couple of years for a simple "code block" formatting. Live highlighting would be awesome but 5 years of begging here and the birth of Quiver didn't move Evernote much... Some basic inline formatting options (including code block) were beta-tested a few months ago and then withdrawn. Can someone from the Evernote team give us an update/timeline on this ?

Ver 3 brought a lot of new, powerful features, and Ver 3.0.1 looks like it will be released very soon. The developer is very receptive to bug reports and suggestions.

I'm not sure the benefit of this other than it cleans out underlying formatting. I'm not holding my breath, but a next step would be to implement a formatting option where you identify the code language and syntax highlighting is applied. Link to comment

The code editor I use (Textastic) provides this feature For me the problem's not adding code snippets to Evernote, it's the copy-paste from Evernote. Evernote embeds control-chars into the copied code. When pasted into emails or Slack, the invisible control-characters are there and when others use the code, e.g. bash commands, the commands are broken. I've been using Bear for all my code work and Evernote for personal data. Link to comment
0 VicC 0 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yes - for me the problem is that you don't get back what you put in. If I put in 'this', when I come to copy it and paste it into another application I get ‘this’ - which if, you look carefully has left and right single quotes instead of the ASCIIi code (39) "single quote" which I typed in. The others I have noticed are conversion of a pair of double quotes (ASCII 34 ) to "left and right double quotes" and from a pair of hyphens (ASCII 45) - like the ones used in lots of linux command lines in to a "long hyphen" . This makes using evernote to store my example scripts, code etc a nightmare. It hasn't stopped me using Evernote but it would be great to get a fix like <pre> or {code} to put around snippets to stop Evernote reformatting them. I'm using the Evernote Application on a Mac.

I mostly use evernote to collect code snippets mainly C/C++ related.
When I copy the code from my editor like vim or xcode(mac), I dont see the
syntax being heighlighted.
On googling I found a online syntax highlighting tool. (http://tohtml.com/c/).
I was able to get my code higlighted but when I paste to evernote I see all the
code being pasted in a single line as below :
int sum(){>----int result = 0;>----return result != 0;}
Let me know if this could be avoided or if there is a better way for pasting code into evernote..
THanks
