6 years ago xmarti6, I don't think anyone is in a position to make changes to the Tomboy code right now. You just might do better if you presented your suggestion as a (git) pull request, that is, coded up so whoever does have write permission to the Tomboy repo can easily accept it. But probably not.
Incidentally, the next release of tomboy-ng will have the ability to export notes in rtf - I think that might be a more appropriate way to get a note into (eg) Word. A couple of weeks or you could build right now from git source.

I like this note-taking app very much, but I found out that when converting all notes to HTML I was not able to copy/paste HTML data into other apps like Word via clipboard (further, Word could not render the HTML file correctly; line breaks not respected). After lot of time digging into it I discovered hat by changing "#xA" charcode to "x2028" in the "softbreak" rule within "ExportToHtml.xsl" xml transform file I was able to obtain an HTML file for which when I copied notes and pasted them to Word, for instance, all style format and line breaks are preserved correctly.
Indeed, I dont know exaclty what the change in "#xA" charcode to "x2028" means, but I lighted my head up when I saw similar code in this thread "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3309746/how-to-convert-newline-into-br-with-xslt" , and I was lucky this change made the effect I was looking for.
I just hope this can serve to improve the code if you consider this a bug.
Many thanks Xavi
