copy paste OL element in browser

2017-06-30 08:48:34
When I copy text that has been displayed from an "ol" ordered list element on a web page in firefox, and paste it into notepad, the text is copied but the numbers are not. To me this seems like a problem, what do you think?

If you don't believe me try it at

https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_lists_ordered

The code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>An ordered HTML list</h2>
<ol>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

What it comes out when copied from the web page displayed (not from the source) and pasted into notepad is

    Coffee
    Tea
    Milk

not

1. Coffee
2. Tea
3. Milk

The latter would be better I think
