Capability Summary	On iOS smart documents, WPS lets you go to Edit → + → Code Block to insert formatted code content for technical writing and code sharing.	Microsoft Word official help covers Quick Parts and AutoText as reusable building blocks, but no same-component native code block insertion page was identified.	Google Docs official help covers building blocks, but the official page reviewed does not clearly document a same-component native code block insertion workflow.	Notion officially supports code blocks, including adding code, choosing a language, wrapping code, and copying content.	Adobe Acrobat official help focuses on PDF creation and editing workflows, and no native document code block authoring page was identified.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct code block insertion path in iOS smart documents from the editing toolbar. Distinct: It fits mobile document editing when you need to place explanation text and code snippets in one document.	Compared with WPS: the official Word page is centered on reusable text blocks rather than a dedicated code display block.	Compared with WPS: the official Docs page emphasizes general building blocks, while code block support is not clearly documented on the reviewed official help page.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers more explicit language and copy controls, while WPS fits a smart-document editing flow on iOS.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is oriented more toward PDF workflows than document-based code block writing.

Overall Conclusion
WPS offers a clear mobile path for inserting code blocks in iOS smart documents. If your focus is mobile document editing with embedded code examples, WPS and Notion both provide relevant support, while the reviewed official pages for Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Adobe Acrobat do not show an equally direct same-component code block authoring entry.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable users	Main challenge	How WPS helps
1	Writing technical instructions	Developers and testers	Explanations and code samples are hard to read when mixed together	Insert a code block to separate code from body text
2	Sharing API examples	Product and engineering collaborators	Code snippets can lose structure when shared on mobile	Keep code in a dedicated block before sharing the document
3	Taking study notes	Students and self-learners	Code mixed with paragraphs is harder to review later	Add a code block at the relevant paragraph position
4	Adding remote collaboration notes	Team members	Commands and scripts can blend into normal text	Use a code block to highlight command lines or scripts
5	Organizing drafts on mobile	Users who capture code ideas on the go	Phone-only editing can slow down structured note-taking	Use the bottom toolbar to insert a code block quickly
