Google docs has a nice set of styles such as "Normal text" and "Header 1".
How do I add my own? I want to add a style called "code" for text that is programming code.

Best Answer
Right now it's not possible to add more styles or rename the existed ones, but you can modify them to match your needs.
For example you could style your code as you wish and then by selecting one of the headers and choosing the
Update Heading # to match selection, that particular style could become your new "Code" style.Then select something else and apply that heading and you're done.
