I find that copy as plain text has varying results. I cannot figure
out why. Here are two examples:
This results from pasting a "copy as plain text".
Off[General::spell1];
But so does this.
\!\(\*
RowBox[{\(ngps\ = \ 1.0;\), " ",
RowBox[{"(*", " ",
StyleBox[\(n\_t\),
FontSlant->"Italic"], " ", "*)"}]}]\)
Why all the extra "stuff"? This is the next line in the same notebook.
The line is a simple
assigment statement.
npgs = 1.0; (* nt *)
where the t is a subscript. Hmmm. When I remove the comment, it looks
more normal:
ngps = 1.0;
Are subscripts the issue? Or comments? Further experimentation
suggests a single subscript changes everything.
What gives?
