Using formula highlighting

Hi Allen, 

I regret to admit that I'm one of those didn't know of the existence of the formula syntax highlighting until I incidentally read your post here. Henceforth, I shall use it whenever the need arises. 

In fact, I started using such capability in my reply here a few minutes ago:

Allen , quite many don't use "insert code" at all. Perhaps don't know such button exists. From ones who uses I guess part doesn't care about formatting, part doesn't recognise that "Language" menu exists.

By a chance, as for me font used for Excel is bit large, I'd make it some smaller.

Allen Well, I've been using it from the moment I noticed that I could choose the type of code I wanted to include. But, I believe many new users are just not aware of what the button id for. That it allows them to enter a piece of code in a structured manner, that makes it stand out from the body text of the message they are typing.

As a frequent user of this particular button I would like to share some thoughts with you. When I press it, I see this:

Clicking the button will reveal no less than 26 options to choose from, of which only three are relevant to the Excel community (Excel formula, PowerQuery and Visual Basic). And they are "miles apart" in the alphabetical sort order. Would be nice to make the list dependant on the space in which it is used, or at least default it to the most relevant option for that space. And perhaps make the text above the button a bit more descriptive with regards to what the (first time) user is supposed to do, like "Enter Code language you wish to insert below"
