Hi.

Some editors (e.g., Programmer's Notepad 2) have a "Copy as RTF" feature.
This is very neat - it allows the user the copy code section, and paste it in a mail, or Office document, and it would be already styled as in the editor - with appropriate font, and colored.

It'd be nice to have this in Eclipse.

Thanks,
Zvika

Reproducible: Always

This already works with the normal copy action. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if the selection includes a collapsed selection. In that case, you have to right-click on the folding ruler and execute "Folding > Expand All" first.
