Copy formatting from Notepad++ to OneNote 2016

Question

I'm following the instructions from this answer:

Copy Notepad++ text with formatting?

The idea is to use the NppExport plug in to keep syntax formatting when you copy/paste from Notepad++ (there are different ways to do it - great answers over there).

Everything works as expected when pasting code into, say, Word 2016. But when pasting into OneNote 2016 it appears to trim CR/LFs. It works if I first paste into Word, then copy/paste from Word to OneNote.

Why doesn't it work with OneNote and what can I do about it?

Answer 1

I could not find any straightforward solution, but it is possible to copy formatted code to MS Word and copy from Word to OneNote.
