Follow-up Comment #48, bug #64360 (group groff): [comment #47 comment #47:] > I need to break the habit of using `verbatim` for quotation.
Regardless of whether you "verbatim" it, simply by selecting text from a
comment as rendered in savannah, you lose information, such as any styling
markup (bold, italics) or bracket-specified hyperlinks in the original, and
you get the visually abbreviated bare URLs.
Savannah itself could potentially address this: I think there's a way for a
web page to specify text that gets copied that is different from what is
displayed on the screen. If I'm right about that, savannah could keep
displaying the abbreviated URL but have the full one show up upon copy.
You get greater fidelity if you select text from the email generated by
savannah: that version of the comment retains _ and * markup, and full bare
URLs. But it still strips at least "nomarkup" tags, which might still cause
text to render differently if it's pasted outside a "verbatim" block.
You get the whole shebang if you use the Quote button on the comment you want
to copy, then copy it from the New Comment text box. But this text will have
a > prepended to each line.
