Actually we are talking about Legacy. When I do a source in Source Writer and then go to copy it for Wikitree - i go to the detail - then the overrides tab, it gives me the source nicely written out - and I SHOULD be able to just cut and paste it but I get the crazy Ital -

So I copy and paste it anyway but have to change the ital markings. It's not a big thing but it does take extra time and I had just never seen html done that way and wondered which version of HTML Legacy was using. If I copy and paste just from the normal printout - I still have to put in the Ital markings because wiki doesn't recognize the italics until you put in the html script.
