I dont know how i got it working last time but i was able to preserve the beautiful markup text and code blocks when copy pasting from joplin into wor programs.
i am not able to get this working anymore i am not sure what happened
It was pasting beautifully before and i was able to change the text also from word
any idea? It is pasting now as plain text only and i tried paste as html using paste special but it doesnt work
Other than the images, if I copy from the rendered window I get code blocks and tables and the rest just fine. Copy from the editor though and it is plain text as expected.
Copying from the PDF, it loses most all formatting.
Copying from the rendered view, I get an approximation, but that is it.
If I export to HTML and open that with LibreOffice, it does a slightly different, but better, approximation.
I've tried and failed to reproduce the problem with LibreOffice on Windows. I did your simple hello world, but it copied properly. Then I did a fairly long file with a table of contents [toc] and lots of indented quotes, and lists. As long as I was in preview mode, not edit mode, it worked perfectly.
I suggest using only 1 writing program. Is it possible that the mac did an update and changed a default for editing style? You could try uninstalling libre office and then installing and leaving the defaults and see if you changed some variable that is doing this.
