Just like there's LaTeX for writing math papers and LaTeX editors to parse it, is there anything for writing papers in programming? Specifically a nice way to automatically format code.

You mean copying from one MATLAB window to another, or copying from MATLAB to another program? If the former case, it's not actually preserving the information, it's just re-formatting it in the new window.chiro said:Oh ok that sucks. When you copy code in MATLAB it preserves the formatting and color/indentation information.
There was to be some editor out there that preserves this information when it's copied!

Actually, it's an indication that Notepad++ is good, since it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. When I copy from a text editor and paste into another program, I expect that all I will be copying is text. Sure, sometimes copying with syntax highlighting is a useful feature, but that could be enabled with a special copy command on the Edit menu, or perhaps through the Paste Special feature in Word (I'm not sure if it works that way).MisterX said:If this is true, this may be an indication that Notepad++ is atrocious.

Software for typing programming papers is a computer program that is specifically designed to assist in writing and formatting papers related to programming. It typically includes features such as code formatting, syntax highlighting, and auto-completion to make the writing process more efficient.
Software for typing programming papers is important because it helps programmers and computer scientists to efficiently write and organize their ideas and code in a professional and user-friendly manner. It also allows for easier collaboration and sharing of code with others.
Some common features of software for typing programming papers include code formatting, syntax highlighting, auto-completion, spell check, and the ability to insert images, tables, and equations. Some programs may also have collaboration and version control capabilities.
There are both free and paid options for software for typing programming papers. Some popular free options include Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Atom, and Sublime Text. Paid options may offer more advanced features and support.
While software for typing programming papers is specifically designed for programming-related writing, it can also be used for other types of writing such as technical reports, essays, or even creative writing. However, it may not have all the necessary features for these types of writing, so it's important to consider your specific needs before using it for other purposes.
