Copy As Html

HTML Copy

Provides support for the HTML Clipboard format when cutting or copying code from the editor. This means there is no need to fix up the formatting of code when pasting it into a TFS work item form or another HTML based control. It is possible to modify the html format that gets copied to the clipboard. Users can customize the behavior in Tools > Options > Productivity Power Tools > HTML Copy.

HTML Copy improvements

We have introduced a new command Edit > Copy Html Markup that puts the raw HTML for the selection into the clipboard in plain text format, so that you can paste it into HTML editors that don't support WYSIWYG or Paste Special.

We added two new options when copying: ReplaceTabsWithSpaces and UnindentToRemoveExtraLeadingWhitespace, which detects a common whitespace prefix and trims it so that the copied code is aligned with left margin wherever you paste it. For example, with all lines indented 12 spaces, this option will detect a common whitespace prefix of 12 spaces and trim that.
