How to Code in Notion

Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert and configure a code block in Notion.

Quick summary

Notion's built-in code block lets you insert, format, and share syntax-highlighted code directly inside any Notion page. You can select from dozens of programming languages, wrap long lines, and present clean code snippets without leaving your workspace.


Steps

  1. Hover over the position where you want to insert code and click the Add (+) icon that appears.
  2. Scroll down to the Code option in the block menu and select it.
  3. A code block is now inserted — click the top left menu to choose the appropriate language syntax highlighting.
  4. Search or select the programming language from the dropdown list.
  5. Click the top right dotted menu to access additional code block options.
  6. Enable Wrap code to prevent horizontal scrolling when lines are too long.
  7. Type your code into the block to have it displayed, shared, and copied by collaborators.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a code block in Notion allows developers, technical writers, and teams to document, share, and review code directly within their workspace — no external tool required. Notion supports syntax highlighting for dozens of programming languages, making code easier to read and collaborate on. Features like wrap code and one-click copying improve the experience for both authors and readers. This makes Notion a practical choice for technical documentation, engineering wikis, and developer onboarding guides.
