Summary
Update Aug 11, 2023:
About a year after this extension first came out, Google released built-in inline code markdown support for Google Docs, rendering this extension obsolete for most use-cases. The extension will remain for those want to continue using it, but I don't intend on making any further updates. To get the built-in inline code and code blocks working via backticks, ensure the Tools -> Preferences -> "Automatically detect Markdown" checkbox is enabled inside Google Docs.
Write inline code inside Google Docs. Just enclose a word or phrase with backticks
and it will be automatically formatted as inline code.
A great tool for software developers who are used to the feature in Slack, Github, Jira, Markdown files, etc.
Features
• Auto-format inline code using backticks • Customizable text color • Customizable highlight color • Extension on/off toggle • Support for multiple Google accounts • Secure and private. Docs data is processed client-side.
