Copy Note as Rich Text or HTML for Emails/Word/Other Rich text apps

complete

So it's easier to send a note to someone or get the note into another app, like Google Docs.

Current workarounds:

Copying the text from NotePlan first into…

StackEdit
Notion

… and then into Email or Google docs, etc.

Will be available in the next update. Already available as beta on Discord!

Eduard Metzger: Fantastic, thanks Eduard. Can you assign this to Cmd-Shift-C please? I guess I can do this myself in the system Keyboard Shortcuts in the meantime.

[Edit]: It looks like "Copy as RTF" is in the context menu for the note, but not in the main menus under Edit or Note, so I can't assign a shortcut from System Prefs -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts.

Daniel Terhorst-North: Good point, have added it.

Copy (and export) as RTF is added in the alpha version supporting tasks, bullets, etc and images. File attachments are still missing and testing.

Option in contextual menu to "copy formatted."

This would save time if you want to copy a note and paste into an email or document. iA Writer has this functionality and its very useful. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing, do you mean copy as RTF, or HTML? You have an idea how iA Writer is handling this? Copy as RTF is coming to v3.5.

I definitely would like to have this. I like creating document outlines in notes and then want to export to Google Docs formatted, so that I can edit a document to share with others.

Export options with proper formatting

I'd like to be able to export a note directly to email and google docs and for that note to be properly formatted. I am currently using StackEdit as an intermediary step to convert to a Google Doc.

Paste text as rich text

Todd Hodgson

Apologies if this has been asked -- I searched and didn't find anything. Sometimes I create quite the detailed / fleshed-out notes in Noteplan, and I'd like to share it with a colleague via email or otherwise. Is there a way to copy the text from Noteplan and paste it in the same rich-text view I see in Noteplan? I.e., currently when you paste it, it's markdown. I'm having to paste it into Notion, and then paste it into email.

Hi Todd — this is one of my biggest requests, too! I made a similar request here if you'd like to vote that up: https://noteplan.canny.io/plugins-scripting/p/export-options-with-proper-formatting

Todd Hodgson

Stacey: Oh, wow -- nice! Upvoted. :)

Mike Erickson

For those of you who want this now, you can use the

copyToHtml

copyToRtf

command in codedungeon.Toolbox

Perhaps this should be a feature request somewhere else but I would be fine with a right-click option to open in default app. (I use Marked 2, which offers a lot more export options than you are likely to be able to integrate into NotePlan, and right now I have to right-click to show in Finder, then open the doc in Marked 2.)
