I find it strange that almost all web sites don't provide "Copy PGN" and "Copy FEN", instead they show PGN/FEN in plain text like this:
But why to show plain text? Who's gonna read it? All I need in 99.9% of cases is to copy it.
Why not to have just buttons "Copy PGN" and "Copy FEN" allowing copy in one click. Traditional software makes it the right way:
Chessbase
Aquarium
Because PGN and FEN are in plain text to start with so that the standard copy/paste is all that's required.
You do have choices in whether or not to include the time stamps.
When I take the data to another program like Arena, I just paste it in. No file required.
Why make something more complicated than necessary?
