Hi Everyone, I want to save my conversation (include the programming code) with ChatGPT to files, ex: .docx, .pdf, .html… but when i do that on docx, the text format of the code is very ugly. The pdf print is only work for only 1 page and the code is lost the nice format. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/3X/8/9/89a5efddc8125b2fe90132cb4fee603042895c0c.png) Anybody help me please ? ---

It think there are some browser extensions out in the wild but there is no official export button. I have just started a request [Export Conversation button - Request](https://community.openai.com/t/export-conversation-button-request/88805) ---
