Hi,

Trying to debug a component which doesn’t seem to be working, but you can’t select the html text. Would be great to be able to grab the raw html to then look at or put through cgpt to have a look?\>

I agree. You can, however, export the page/site.

Use Bootstrap Studio’s Preview to preview the page in your browser. Right click on the website and select View page source. A new tab/window will open with the page’s HTML. Then you can copy & paste into ChatGPT (or wherever.) I do this all the time.

Thank you all -  
Of course you can do all the above -  
just funny that you’re staring at the code, but you can’t even copy it regardless of being able to edit it.

Just a thought -  
Cheers

And to mention yet another way. Right click and copy.
