I have a folded code block in Notepad++
[+] /begin{code}
I want to copy and paste this code block. However, when I do so, it is expanded out, like this:
/begin{code}
...
/end{code}
when I really want to retain the folded code and have it appear like this when I paste:
[+] /begin{code}
Is there any way to do this in Notepad++, or any other editor that supports this feature?

I have a script in SSMS
I would like to copy it, complete with formatting and color-coding to Word
When I paste, it pastes as plain text
When I right-click in Word, I only get the option to paste as plain text (no option to paste and keep source formatting)
I've pasted from SSMS into Word before and never had an issue
Found out how to make it paste correctly -
I copied half of the script, pasted, copied the second half, pasted
It might be an issue with the number of lines/size of the script?
The script is only 316 lines - so not sure
When I select a block of code in VS Code I get the following:
png
At the end of each line, and at the beginning of the selection, the editor selects an extra space (that isn't actually there). How can I stop it from doing this? I want the selection to be exactly the text that I select and nothing else.
I'm quite new to cc-mode and I'd like to configure it to allow me to freely format and use tabs in multiline comments. This is important to me because I want to use cog.py in my source file and need to be able to format the python source in the comment correctly. I'd be ok with comments not beeing autoindented at all, however I'd like to keep auto indenting the rest of the source code.
Example:
...
/*
[[[cog
import cog
for x in ['a','b','c']:
>cog.outl(x)
]]]
*/
...
In the line marked with > I'd like to press TAB to indent the line. cc-mode simply does nothing at all if i do so. I could use spaces there (which is inconvenient) but every (semi-)automatic re-indentation of this block would cause the spaces to vanish and therefore the python code to be incorrectly indented (which is what happens if i happen to press tab somewhere on this line after indenting it with spaces).
I tried to start emacs without my .init to be sure this is default behavior and not modified by my configuration so far. I've done google searches and read the documentation of the cc-mode variables / functions I stumbled upon (cc-mode online docs) while searching for a solution (i.e. c-indent-comments-syntactically-p, c-indent-command, c-tab-always-indent,...) but none of these seemed to solve my question.
EDIT1:
Thanks to abo-abo's idea of a "multi-major-mode" setup i've stumbled upon mmm-mode and have set up automatic switching to python mode for a cog section, which fixes most of my problems.
The only remaining problem is reindenting the whole file or a region containing a cog section. Can I somehow tell cc-mode to not change anything in comments while reindenting the file? mmm-mode + that would be a perfect solution for me.
You can use M-i to force a tab indent on the lines that you want, so you can use it to indent your comments.
You can also change your comments to use // instead. Just select your python code snippet, and do M-x comment-region:
// def foo(x):
// print 'hi'
Then the autoindent won't mess up your indentation.
We use confluence for documentaion but i find very time consuming to select the code macro; it's a 5 step process. Even typing the macro by hand is not efficient.
In the Stack Overflow editor all we have to do is select the text and press a button or hit ctrlK, and the text is formatted as code.
Is there a way to do this in Confluence?
even typing by hand is also not efficient
I use the code macro extensively and always use the autocomplete feature by typing { and choosing 'Code Macro' from the list (It's enough to type co for the code macro).
This is a very efficient.
Of course a keyboard shortcut would be faster, but there is no shortcut for the code macro. (AFAIK there is no keyboard shortcut for a specific macro at all)
I use Ctrl-Shift-D then wrap the text in {code}.
This also fixes the problem with formatting being stripped from pasted text.
In Confluence 5.x if you edit a page, you can type {cod<enter} and it puts a Code Block box on the page, but when code is pasted into this box it can strip out end of line characters.
Open the Insert Markup window using Ctrl-Shift-D
Paste in your code as plain text This way the formatting is not stripped out.
Add {code} tags.
You can also type three back ticks ``` to create a code block as you would in vanilla Markdown. This creates an empty code block very quickly. I never have with problems with formatting when pasting code in this way.
The one irritating feature of this method is that you can't specify the language as you do in Markdown, you have to select the language from a list.
Is there a quick and easy way to word wrap like "Apply Word Wrap" function of KDE's Kate?
Enter to wrapping mode = M-x auto-fill-mode
Wrap text = select text -> M-q
While the mishadoff's answer is great for default word wrapping, I once had to re-implement it because I wasn't content with the way Emacs did it, so I tried to scratch the bits of it together and here it is: http://pastebin.com/75q65hRf in case you need it.
With that bit of code you can configure what characters to wrap on, what characters terminate words, and also set exception rules for when the characters that would've otherwise break the line won't do it. It may also pad the created column on the right and on the left (I was using this function to format and display documentation text).
