Notepad++ uses a fixed line height equal to the tallest character that can be on that line. The answer is: The line would still be 12pt tall. But what if there is only a keyword in one line (whose character sizes are 10pt)? What if the line is entirely blank? So, in the example above, what happens if both known keywords and braces are in one line? Naturally, Notepad++ must adjust the line height to accomodate a 12pt font. (“Points” or “pt” for short is a measure of font size, equal to 1/72 inches.) For example, it is possible to display known keywords in bold black 10pt font and braces in red 12pt font. One of its features is syntax highlighting when the user is editing a source code, written in one of the programming/scripting/markup languages that it knows of, it automatically shows keywords, variables, values, parameters and comments in different colors, sizes, font weights, font styles or typefaces. Notepad++ is an advanced plain text and source code editor. But as with any other curious human, I wanted to know why, just out of curiousity and not because of practical need. To read more about the Zettelkasten method, check my takeaways from the book How to Take Smart Notes.I normally wouldn’t care for a slight amount of space as I am not a consumer of ASCII art and don’t use table characters in my source codes either. Althought there are editors for Zettelkasten, I have my own slip-box and I keep my cards with pen and paper.
In short, write on your own words what you learn on a piece of paper or card, put an index number and connect it to your existing notes. Recently I found a note-taking system: Zettelkasten. “Always have something to keep notes” suggests Pragmatic Thinking and Learning. I capture ideas and thoughts on my phone. I write the date, the source, the keypoints and my reaction. I group these notes using the tag: “til”, short for “Today I learned”. I have a note for every blog post, podcast, video and book I found interesting. For more ideas to use plain text, you can read Lifehacker Ten clever uses for plain text. Once a task is done, I move it to a done.txt. For ideas and tasks in the future, I have a later.txt. Each task has a priority, due date and optional tags.

Markdown is already on README files in GitHub and almost everywhere around the Internet. It’s formatted plain text that can be converted to HTML. Notepad++, SublimeText, Vim, Visual Studio Code, you name it. A time ago, I commented a discussion on dev.to titled How do you make notes? Here it is long my reply.
