    It would be great if the syntax coloring would survive the clipboard -- HTML and/or RTF.

    thanks,

      It would be great if visitors did just a little research to find if an answer is already there, instead of simply expressing their needs and expecting others to answer them.

        It would be even better if you hobbled of your high-horse, if you're bothering to respond, and actually provide some added value, even if you must chide me first.

        As I didn't see anything regarding this on Google, the online help, the FAQ, or on the SF forums, I didn't think posting here was out of line. If I missed it, please provide the link.

        In any case, unless the functionality is present but unconventional, it's missing - so documented or not, it is a vote/suggestions nonetheless.

          Reading your request, I searched for messages containing the words output and RTF. Did you?

          This gave 5 results (now probably 6). One of the messages is in a thread about what you ask for.

      just look in the list of plugins, there is one called "export" which will do perfectly the job

        I've noticed Plugins>Export>RTF & HTML are a little broken. When exporting HTML to clipboard, and pasting in an email, it jumbles it and removes newlines. When exporting RTF to clipboard, it looses indentation. The RTF is more readable than HTML though.

        I'd think that the default copy opertation would bind to "copy all formats to clipboard" (out of the plugin and into the core) - but I appreciate the "light core" approach as well. Perhaps an "appropos"-style keyword search of bulit-in and extension methods would be useful to find things.

        Anyway, glad it's there - thanks!
