What issue do you have?

Hi Everyone, It's not long ago that I found Joplin, and this is really a great app!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, everyone who developed and maintained this app.

One thing I'm wondering about is that when I simply select codes and confirm, codes are sort of read in a text format. Please see the screenshots. I think there are already ways to tackle this out, but I couldn't find one. Can someone help me?

I was selecting the below and created a note.

This is what I'm seeing from Windows Joplin.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you are trying to do, but why aren't you clicking the "copy code" button? Then in Joplin (Markdown editor) type three back ticks (```), new line, paste, new line, and three more back ticks.

Thank you, @whitewall . My question might be equal to creating a notebook for codes in one-go, skipping the steps you referred to... Maybe I could be demanding, but someone might know the solution or wrokaround..

So you aren't just talking about snipping codes but saving entire chats? Have you tried the Joplin Web Clipper?

The more explicit you can be with what you are needing the more we will be able to help you.

If Joplin Web Clipper is the extention on Chrome, that was what I was talking about. Following are the screenshots.

There doesn't seem to be any solution at this moment. Hopefully, it will be added one day!

Have you tried all of the clipping options? Meaning not the "clip selected"?

I hope you'll find a way to export GPT chats easily to Joplin (using the webclipper or a different way), but here's an alternative approach. You could chat with GPT from within Joplin using a plugin.

I found the issue is related to ``` in markdown. Inside the code markdown, line breaks are all ignored while clipping, so the result is the code is all shown as one line. Hope this will be read by the team and the issue will be fixed soon.

In my experience changes to the clipper are very slow.

I'd recommend submitting an issue on the appropriate github repo and be as detailed as possible.

Thank you, @whitewall
