How do I add colored text or highlighting to txt files in vscode?

Viewed 2621

I'm trying to use vscode for writing notes for some reason... namely I can't use onenote or evernote. i don't have much coding experience... is it impossible to change the formatting of txt files, so that i can highlight or change to color of individual words inside vscode?

also, is it possible to start files with the outline [+] on the sidebar collapsed?

Just use:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editor.foreground": "#586e75"
},

The editor.foreground controls plain text color.
