(Archived) HTML <pre> Tag Bug

Hi,

I copy a lot of code formatted using the HTML

 Tag. Evernote ignores this tag and the entire block comes as a single line.

e.g.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp ... ryhtml_pre

If you select and copy the right side block "Your Result:" and paste it in a new note, the

 formatting is lost and the whole text comes on a single line.

Will this be fixed?

Regards,

Xanadu

<pre> should be allowed, per the API (http://www.evernote.com/about/developer/api/evernote-api.htm). Might be a missed handoff in the clipboard process: i.e., you put something on the clipboard, and it appears as several formats to the receiving program If that program picks the wrong format (e.g. CF_TEXT rather than HTML), then you can lose the formatting. There's a program available for Windows, ClipSpy, that can help diagnose problems like these.

Evernoted. I expect, but have not tested, that a clip from a Windows process to the Windows client will work fine. Will take a look at ClipSpy to investigate my cross OS clipping issues.

Yeah, I just tried it, and the fixed font came across, but the formatting is stripped. So it's not the scenario I posited.Exported the note to ENEX, the <pre>s are there, so they're not being interpreted, maybe?

Thanks Owyn for confirming the issue. Now would someone from Evernote please comment whether this will be fixed?

Kind regards,

Hi,

I have a slightly different question regarding tags. I should put this in a new post but for some reason it says I need to sign in before I can create a new topic despite the fact that I clearly am signed in.

I use Evernote to combine a huge amount of disparate information and I use the tags to make sure that I create a separate note for any terminology that needs further explanation. So if I am explaining a term and in that explanation there is a term that needs further explanation, I add that as a tag to that note so it registers as something that needs to be looked at further. For example; Determinism is closely aligned to the Nature/Nurture debate.

Here I would add a tag, 'Nature/Nurture' so that I know that I have to create an explanation for this.

I now have hundreds of tags and I would like to export my list of tags to be used as a checklist against other documentation not contained in Evernote.

I have been hunting for a way to do this but do not know if it is possible. Could anyone help?

Thanks
