Copying properties is annoying. Only hackers > think regular users would like such a behavior. I wonder what do DTP and word processing programs do? I guess if you copy an italic word from one place to another it stays italic. After Emacs moves in the wysiwyg direction, I guess that people used to other wysiwyg programs would expect similar behavior, ie that text properties are copied. But then, I'm a hacker, so what do I know... I guess that properties added by font-lock are different. Hm. On the other hand, you could get the effect of htmlize.el by simply doing C-x h M-w C-x b foo RET C-y to copy some program text into the foo buffer (which presumably contains a wysiwyg-type document). Doesn't that sound sweet? kai -- Silence is foo!
