On any Notion page, you can create a code block to display code so that it's broken out from the rest of your content and formatted by language. We support proper syntax coloring for a number of programing languages. For example, here's a Code block displaying JavaScript:

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  text += "The number is " + i + "<br>";
}

Code blocks are useful to demonstrate programing concepts, share code with other developers, or maintain your own library of code snippets. They also make it a breeze to copy any amount of code to your clipboard to use elsewhere.

Add a code block

• Click the + that appears to the left when you hover over a new line. Choose Code and press enter. Alternatively, type /code and press enter.
• With your new code block in place, click inside it to type or paste your code.

Arrange code blocks

• Use drag-and-drop to move code blocks around your page. Hover over the block, then use the ⋮⋮ icon that appears as a handle to drag it.
• You can also drag and drop your code blocks into columns.

Wrap your code

To eliminate side scrolling and create a line break at the edge of your code block:

• Hover over the code block and click ••• at the top right or ⋮⋮ on the left. You can also right click on the block itself.
• Switch on the Wrap code option.
