Code highlighting and copy paste

[....IFICantBYTE]

Deana or Tony,
this new board is great, but I noticed that when I try to copy example code (like your RSS feed example Deana) and paste it into WinBatch Studio, it all comes in as one line.. ie. there are no CRLFs at the end of each line, even though it looks fine in the web page.
I noticed you are using Geshi to colour the code... I tried some Winbatch code on the Geshi web site: http://qbnz.com/highlighter/demo.php
and it seemed to output coloured code I could copy/paste ok into Studio, so perhaps you can change the new WB forum to do whatever they are doing? Or perhaps add a "Copy Code" button next to any posted code that could then format it nicely for a clipboard copy/paste?

Regards,

Funny, I just did exactly that, and the code came in fine -- all on separate lines, ready to run.
Wonder what was different?  Maybe browser? I'm on Chrome.

I get line breaks copying/pasting from Firefox.

Works fine in IE 10

We tested syntax highlighting with the latest versions of Safari and Opera along with IE, FireFox, and Chrome before we announced the new board. All passed line breaks to WinBatch Studio.

Hmmm... just tried it on a different PC and it worked fine as you say... weird.. it just didn't work (tried many times) on my usual PC at work.
Will try again on Monday.
Sorry to bother you.. must be something on that particular PC set differently somewhere.

I can't work out exactly what is doing it.. but it is still "broken" on my usual work PC.

Something is making IE9 put the copied text (from the colorized div) on the clipboard without any line breaks.

I've been looking on the web, and there are a million different postings in various forums about very similar issues, but none of the solutons I've seen and tried have worked or directly apply to me.

For me, a temporary way around it is to load this forum using IE's compatibility view and then clipboard copy/paste worked with line breaks, so I can live with that for now until I find the real culpret.
