</span>I couldn't get this to work either and retain syntax highlighting. I was<br>
able to get it to work by exporting as PDF from LibreOffice after<br>
pasting from the browser, but the downside was that in KWrite I use a<br>
colored background, which came through to LO and then the PDF.<br>
<br>
For me, KWrite -> export as HTML -> print as PS file -> import to<br>
Scribus as vector works the best, and eliminates the extra step of<br>
LibreOffice.<br>
<br>
Perhaps there is some setting in LO to interpret the HTML markup.<br>
