My guess is that when you copy the text from the source, it is only getting the plain text, not the Rich Text Format(RTF). What action are you using to extract the text from the source?
Formatting text, you can add some simple html. (I'm adding extra spaces to prevent this compiler from changing it.)
< b > Bold </ b>
< i > Italic </ i >
< a href = "" > Link Name < / a >
