I just tried copying content (on v0.7.1) of a page and pasting it into a LibreOffice Writer document and I can confirm that formatting is preserved.

What you're asking for is copying markdown syntax. You can export the page as markdown and open the file OR use Share > Export as > Copy to clipboard to get what you want.

Hello,

Indeed you right !

It's unusual for me to copy something into a "modern" text editor.

I used to copy from appflowy to a Github issue for example, or whatever forum available in which, markdown is supported, or at least

But my need is real. I need to a whole page or specific blocs by COPY / PASTE easily.

PS: This doesn't exists on macOS.

PS: I tried to copy this:

into word, an I got

It works only when I choose: "preserve text only", but I don't care at all about copying to word :P
