Not really. WordPad supported rtf and things like embedded images. It has been obsoleted by MS.
Notepad doesn't do rtf, but they did add markdown support. Which I think is an ok feature. The bad part is the application now also includes AI and other unnecessary features and doesn't feel as snappy and fast as the old one.
