You can specify whether it should be in PGN or standard, and if it is PGN whether it
should be the old form, which is easier to read, or the newer version, which is better
for some chess programs.
This is the standard format:
(60) RyCooder (2614) - Klosterfrau (2424) [B40]
Rated game, 3m + 0s Main Playing Hall, 17.02.2002
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Qb6 5.c3 a6 6.Nd2 Qc7 7.f4 Qxf4 8.Nc4 Qxe4+ 9.
Be2 Bc5 10.b4 Ba7 11.Nd6+ 1–0
This is a PGN header
[Event "Rated game, 3m + 0s"]

11. Nd6+ {Klosterfrau resigns (Lag: Av=0.9s, max=4s) 1} 1-0
This is the new PGN format
1. e4 {[%emt 0:00:01]} c5 {[%emt 0:00:00]} 2. Nf3 {[%emt 0:00:01]}
e6 {[%emt 0:00:00]} 3. d4 {[%emt 0:00:02]} cxd4 {[%emt 0:00:01]}

Position/Text
The current position is copied into the clipboard either as FEN or in the traditional text
description. Both are described in the position setup.
Copy HTML format
If you switch on this option then the program will generate HTML code when you press
Ctrl-C in a game. This you can paste in a word processor, HTML editor or email client.
The program copies the game in many different fomats in the clipboard. These include
plain text, PGN and RTF. In many applications there is a "Paste Special" which allows
you to select the one you want. They are all present at the same time in the
clipboard. "Copy HTML format" simply ensures that this is also available.
Below you can see what the HTML code looks like in the clipboard. The background
colour is a pale yellow, the game header is in headline size three, and the moves are in
