BUG: Extra brackets before pasted HTML/XML

[bkwyrm 0]

Often when I paste HTML or XML code copied from a web page to a note, I get two extra square brackets before the closing angle-bracket. Today's example:

I was pasting code from this page:

http://www.mobileroadie.com/wiki/doku.php?id=speakers_getall

And ended up with this:

<xml]]><item]]><id]]>17346</id]]><category_id]]>0</category_id]]><title]]>John Smith</title]]><subtext]]>Company</subtext]]><description]]>A bio.</description]]><img]]>http://is.gd/7Y12R</img]]><grouping]]>S</grouping]]><created]]></created]]></item]]> </xml]]>

This is still a problem 2 years later. Anything from Evernote?

It boggles my mind why this would be such an issue with Evernote. Using it as a snippet manager makes so much sense, why would it destroy code? This should absolutely be a feature for paid users to have this option.

Why just paid users?

Because Evernote does NOT support true plain text, it is not a very good tool for storing code snippets of any kind.

As you noted, you cannot trust Evernote to be 100% accurate in storing code.

For sure it will not properly maintain spaces and tabs that are often used in code.

If you want to store code in EN, then store it in an attached file.

Otherwise, you are much better off using a Code Snippet manager.

There are a number of these available for Mac and Windows.
