 ** JetBrains Releases New Writerside EAP Update Focusing on Code Sample Improvements

JetBrains has released a new Early Access Program (EAP) update for Writerside, focusing on improving code samples in technical documentation. The update addresses common challenges with code blocks, such as providing a single source of truth for code samples and ensuring accurate syntax highlighting across more programming languages.

The release notes highlight the importance of understanding readers' needs and goals when creating documentation. According to JetBrains, the best features are not always flashy but rather those that help writers meet their readers' needs. The update also emphasizes the need for practical improvements that directly address common challenges with code blocks.
