San Francisco, Aug 21: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on new text formatting tools for messaging, which include syntax for blocking code snippets, quoting specific text and creating text lists.

The “Code Block” feature is expected to make sharing and reading lines of code much more convenient and readable on the platform, reports WABetaInfo. Amazon Declares It Has Digitised over 62 Lakh MSMEs, Created over 13 Lakh Jobs in India till Date.

It will be helpful for software developers, programmers and anyone who communicates code snippets with others. With this tool, the platform aims to prevent the problem of code snippets being displayed in a complicated way.

The "Quote” feature is expected to help users refer back to particular messages in a chat. It will be different from the existing quote message feature, as the new tool will allow users to highlight a specific section of text. Elon Musk-Owned X Shuts Down USD 100 Million Promoted Accounts Ad Business, Will Not Allow Advertisers To Promote Accounts To Attract New Followers.

On the other hand, the third formatting tool will likely allow users to create a list of items. Last week, it was reported that the messaging platform had started to roll out a caption message edit feature on Android and iOS.

With this feature, users can edit captions for videos, GIFs and documents, within 15 minutes of sending the message. However, users can edit a message with a caption only from the device from which it was originally sent.
