This has been bothering me for years. Every time I cut a block of code from a java file in eclipse and paste into a word document, the text just appears as a big block of text. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
This mostly happens with single line copying. Try copying by including the white-space from the above/bottom line.
Try pasting your code into a basic text editor first, like notepad; it should get rid of any attributes that are coming from where you cut from.
EDIT
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/control-the-formatting-when-you-paste-text-HA010215708.aspx and look for the "Keep Text Only" option.
This is well known problem. It is registered as a Eclipse bug:

Unfortunately, for today, this problem is not solved.

Is there a way to do so? I find a lot of my time is taken up correcting indentation formatting in VSCode after pasting, because it seems to sometimes take the source indenting and apply it at the destination (so the entire pasted code block is at the wrong indent level) or worse, just mess up indents entirely (no idea what's going on here) and I need to manually fix every line.
Example use case, for single PHP files which contain PHP, HTML, and Javascript, I often only want the pasted Javascript block to format nicely. Turning on "paste on format" will format the entire document, often times making the PHP sections awkwardly arranged.
I know that VSCode has "format on paste" in settings, but this formats the entire document. How can I format only the pasted code? Is this even possible?
Thank you
I am not certain whether you're fine with this roundabout solution, but you can format selection with Ctrl+K Ctrl+F (see official vscode site for more detail). So rather than turning on format on paste you can paste and then reselect it and do the shortcut above.
If you're not satisfied with this method, you can try using a vscode extension that was given here under a somewhat similar copy and paste problem
I use VSCode and I think its a great editor, but when I write a comment in html it drops to a new line under what I'm commenting which is really irritating.
If I comment a closing div I want it next to the closing div not under it.
I have uninstalled prettier but that made no difference.
Is what I want even possible in VSCode?
Any advise would be appreciated because I am so irritated that I am considering using a different editor (I'm on a Mac just in case it matters).
Thanks in advance.
This was a problem for me too, as were other new line / white space related HTML issues.
Assuming you are not using any formatters besides the native VSCode HTML language features (you said you uninstalled prettier, but you didn't mention whether you were using something else),
there is a setting HTML white space which you can set to preserve to leave your comments untouched.
Note that you may need to go into settings and check what is being used as the HTML default formatter
The problem: How do I change the font in the instruction text box in an MIT Scratch project page. For example: make a line of text standout in bold. I believe it maybe done through editing the html code that is behind the box as I found a read only editor button that displays the code for the box. Unlike say a cell in Ipython you cannot simply surround text with tags. It seems such a simple problem but I have not found the solution yet.
Sorry, you can't do it.
The only thing you can do is to search for special font-characters and paste them in the Instruction text-box
For a day or two fairly recently this was allowed from a bug, but that bug was fixed and it's now impossible.
It's possible to change the HTML code, but that changes would only seen by you, and nobody else. There isn't a way to do it.
If I view the source of a certain webpage, there is a script tag that seems to be cut off at the end, ending with an ellipsis (...). Is there a way to tell if the script is actually being cut off or if the ellipsis is actually part of the content? If it is cut off, is there a way to view the whole thing?
Yes, it appears that Chrome Developer tool truncates the display of the content and shows an ellipses instead. The content is still there and parsed by the browser.
You can view the full content by going to the Sources tab, clicking on the Show Navigator icon, and selecting your file.
The previous answers do not work if js code added dynamically. For me works when I do right click on script element and choose Copy -> Copy element
For those looking just to view or copy a cut off script tag, the solution I found to work for me is saving the web page to disk and then opening using a code editor. Obviously this won't allow you to edit in place or debug, but for copying it works great!
If your truncated script is being generated dynamically, you will note that the truncated code is automatically highlighted/selected. If you copy this and paste it into a text editor, you will find that the complete/un-truncated section of script will be pasted. Not ideal, but not too much hassle either.
Recently every time I copy a block of code from Eclipse and paste the code into TextEdit or a online forum using the code tags, I get the code with the rich-text or html formatting, so I have to copy into a text editor remove the formatting copying and pasting again, In the past this was not a problem I used to copy from eclipse and paste the code without any formatting at all just as plain-text, I dont know if I turn on a property or what I did for this to happen, any ideas how to fix this?
There is an Eclipse bug filed for this that can be voted for:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45969
It has been open for 10 years though!
There are applications out there that think they can handle rich text but can't. So for those it looks like we'll have to carry on with "Copy-Switch to Notepad-Paste-Select All-Copy-Switch to final app-Paste" for some time yet.
Note: the rich formatting from a SWT editor seems to have always been available (bug 64498).
You could use "Edit, Paste and Match Style" in TextEdit.
From the Edit menu, choose Paste and Match Style,
or use the keyboard shortcut, Shift Option Command V.
The pasted text will pick up all the formatting from the character to the left of the flashing insertion point. This technique works in Mail as well.
