Formatting lost when copying from code panel

[ToonTalk]

In general when I copy part of a web page to Word or a Google Doc the rich text is preserved by default. However, when I copy some NetLogo code in the code panel I always get plain text when pasted. It would be nice to capture the code formatting and colouring without resorting to images.

If I select and copy the entire page then formatting is preserved.

If it wasn't clear the motivation for this is to copy NetLogo code into papers and documentation with nice colours and formatting.

perhaps ironically, our current suggested workaround for this is to save the page as an applet (from desktop NetLogo), then copy and paste from that; see also NetLogo/NetLogo#645
