Not only Java.

If you are trying to use the context menu, then it works also for other formats (eg xml, c + +), but for example for PHP is not working. However, there is a workaround by using 'Copy as RTF format" option in drop-down menu "Edit".

Also I think that adding the option to copy the HTML would be great, but now I have a lot of other things to do and I'm busy. If you are interested (or anyone else) of the implementation of this, you can download the source and I can briefly introduce you in the structure of the code. I think that the implementation of this option is a simple task.

Best wishes,
Michael

Only Java?

Does this only work with Java files? I tried it with a PHP file, but the "Copy as RTF format" option was not there. (It worked in a Java file.) NB 6.8 / Mac OS X 10.5 / Java 6



Really cool, otherwise. It would be interesting to have a "Copy as HTML format" option as well.
