I've slightly modified the CSS and it's great. I can clearly see my personal notes in italic but when I copy/paste to other programs I can't figure out what is a highlight and what is a personal notes. I'm thinking I could add a keyword or symbol when I write a note but perhaps there is a way to keep the formating. I've tried control-v or control-shift-v, paste with formating, no luck.
OK.... I just had the idea of trying Microsoft Explorer instead of Chrome and it works better... Google Docs looks good, evernote weird... but in case someone else is wondering I'll keep this here. If anyone else has a great workflow let me know. Cheers

The problem here is that copy-and-paste depends on both the source of the copy, and the paste destination. When you copy to the clipboard, the source application can put multiple formats into the clipboard. When you paste from the clipboard, the destination application queries the clipboard for the available formats and picks the most suitable. So, if you copy from a browser and paste into a text editor, the text of the page is usually what it picks. If you post to a word processor, the formatted version is usually used. Some applications will let you pick which version to paste.
Depending on the application you are pasting to, you might be better to copy the source from the metatada editor. That will put the actual source into the clipboard. Then, you can paste that. For this to be useful, it needs the destination application to be able to handle this.
