Hey Ross,

Here's something very basic to get you started:

set noteBody to "
<body>
   <h2 style=\"color:black;\">Freedom Rocks!</h2>
   <p>
   <p style=\"color:black;\" >Come on, feel the noise...</p>
</body>
"

tell application "Notes"
   activate
   if exists of folder "Notes" then
      tell folder "Notes"
         make new note with properties {name:" ", body:noteBody}
      end tell
   end if
end tell

You can't actually set the style of the note title, but this works out basically the same.

Take a look here for more:

Many thanks for that. Is there a way to replace 'Freedom Rocks !' with Input variable as defined in first action of macro?

Hi Ross,

You should be able to use the & to concatenate the strings.
I think this should do the trick:

tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
   set noteTitle to getvariable "Input"
end tell

set noteBody to "
<body>
   <h2 style=\"color:black;\">" & noteTitle & "</h2>
   <p>
   <p style=\"color:black;\" >Come on, feel the noise...</p>
</body>
"

Regards,
René

Thanks but does not seem to work - makes title body font.

Strange. It works here.
I put it in a macro.

Can you try this?

If this doesn't work, then perhaps it's a difference in OS/KM versions. I'm on Catalina 10.15.7 and KM 9.2

Hey Ross,

Please tell us what version of macOS you're using.
