Easily format and display code in Google Docs

What’s changing

Currently, when working in Google Docs, collaborators who want to present code have to paste it in the document and then manually apply styles by highlighting syntax.

We’re adding a new smart canvas feature that makes this process much easier by enabling you to format and display code in Docs with code blocks.
