We don’t include it in the default template. By default the note text os the same as the highlighted text, so this would just be a duplicate. As for using it in a custom template, this is returned <$textString/>, which is defined for anchored and markup notes. It is plain text. Alternatively, you can use <$selection.cleanedString/>, <$selection.string/>, or <$selection.attributedString/>, which are defined only for markup notes. Christiaan
