It would be nice if PureBasic supported copying source to the clipboard in RTF and EML format. This would allow pasting into other applications with syntax colors (Word, Writer, OneNote, etc.).

The final version was 1.9.1 in 2008, implementing features of Office 2007. Microsoft has discontinued enhancements to the RTF specification. New features in Word 2010 and later versions will not save properly to the RTF format

What are you saying, Juror? That bold/italic text won't exist in Microsoft products in future? Of course it will, so we need a way to work with it.

...no, he is saying that Microsoft do not use RTF anymore, they are using XML now.

I made this thread 7 years ago and in retrospect, this feature just doesn't make sense in the scope of an IDE. Syntax coloring is meant to increase legibility while writing code not to format for presentation. An IDE isn't a word processor.

Oh, you mean from the source of the IDE. I thought you meant source as in, any source of text. That's why I gave the +1 in my reply.
