Same for me, copying out of a variety of editors/IDEs and it doesn't retain the font/syntax highlighting at all.

  Does your IDE/editor support copying out as rich text? The ones I tried did and it worked. Maybe there's a setting for copying out with styles. If not, this isn't a use case I've primarily worked on yet, but I can try to support it later.

    I can't see any such option in Atom, Sublime, or Eclipse to copy as rich text. To be fair I didn't really expect it to work with automagically copying the syntax highlighting from my IDE, but it made it sound like it could. It's definitely a useful project, and surprising that nothing else like it exists, but may be worth making it clearer that it's designed for rich text, and may or may not work with formatting when pasting for various programs.

      Fair, I think I extrapolated too eagerly. Will think of a solution, including dropping the code use case. Terminal and web based output works at least.
