Yes, notes will get paragraph formatting and colored text. This is supported through various new features introduced in different sessions at WWDC 2024.
-
Text Highlighting: Both UIKit and AppKit have introduced new text highlighting features. In UIKit, the formatting panel supports a new text highlight feature with predefined color schemes (What’s new in UIKit). Similarly, AppKit supports text highlighting with attributed string attributes and color schemes (What’s new in AppKit).
-
Writing Tools: The Writing Tools feature in UIKit allows for advanced text editing experiences, including inline editing, proofreading, and composition support. This feature is available by default in editable text views (Get started with Writing Tools).
-
Genmoji: Genmoji support is enabled by default in text views and supports rich text, including image glyphs, which can be serialized and deserialized easily (Bring expression to your app with Genmoji).
These features collectively enhance the text editing and formatting capabilities, allowing for paragraph formatting and colored text in notes.
