Copying syntax highlighted code to Word/Outlook/Browser?

[rpardee]

Absolutely agree with this suggested feature. I've been wanting this for a while. The suggested workarounds are waaaay too cumbersome.

I agree to - I would also love to see this feature in UltraEdit. This would so convenient to be able to export the code to HTML and paste it in my blog. And it doesn't seem to be very difficult to implement since all the coloring information is already there.

For those still interested in other alternatives, here's another method:

The Notepad++ text editor has a built-in plugin called 'NppExport' that lets you copy the RTF/HTML formatting and paste into Word (or whatever else), thereby preserving the syntax highlighting. Having to use NP++ for this could be a pain if you're using Ultraedit full-time, but might be of some use if you only have to do this every once in awhile.

I just recently upgraded to UE v16... I hadn't done so since v11; I was hoping IDM would've added this feature by now, but alas... it seems that they haven't. What's the best way for paying customers to petition IDM directly to get this feature added? If freeware text editors can do this, UE should too. Based on other posts in this thread, I'm obviously not the only one who thinks this way

Send an email to support@idmcomp.com, as suggested on top of every page in these forums. The more people ask for it, the higher the chance that it'll get implemented.

Not really. The best method at the moment is to use a printer driver, which can ouput RTF or XPS files, for example:

LEADTOOLS ePrint printer driver
Microsoft XPS Document Writer

Thanks.

The second alternative seems to be the best method for me at this stage as I already have an XPS virtual printer on my machine, still a little bit cumbersome though.

Hope this feature will be added as soon as possible.

Absolutely right, IMO.

In my opinion, it is utterly strange that such a straightforward and intuitive and widely-wanted and not-hard-to-implement feature does not exist - not only in UE but also, seemingly, in many other (non-trivial) editor apps with syntax highlighting.
