Code Notes

Trilium supports creating "code" notes, i.e. notes which contain some sort of formal code - be it programming language (C++, JavaScript), structured data (JSON, XML) or other types of codes (CSS etc.).

This can be useful for a few things:

  • computer programmers can store code snippets as notes with syntax highlighting
  • JavaScript code notes can be executed inside Trilium for some extra functionality
    • we call such JavaScript code notes "scripts" - see Scripts
  • JSON, XML etc. can be used as storage for structured data (typically used in conjunction with scripting)

Extra languages

Trilium supports syntax highlighting for many languages, but by default displays only some of them (to reduce the number of items). You can add extra languages in Options -> Code notes.

Code blocks

An alternative to the code note is a "code block" - feature of a text note which can add short snippets of code to the text editor. Starting with TriliumNext v0.90.12, the code blocks also support syntax highlighting.
