iBook: Copy without citation option?

[AlecZ]

I'm reading The Swift Programming Language by Apple, which contains lots of code examples I want to copy into Xcode for experimentation. Every time I paste, I have to remove the citation and quotes it adds in, which is cumbersome. Is there a way to get around this?

Example:

[COLOR="Red"]"[/COLOR]struct Card {
    var rank: Rank
    var suit: Suit
    func simpleDescription() -> String {
        return "The \(rank.simpleDescription()) of \(suit.simpleDescription())"
    }
}
let threeOfSpades = Card(rank: .Three, suit: .Spades)
let threeOfSpadesDescription = threeOfSpades.simpleDescription()[COLOR="red"]”

I've got the same issue, It's quite annoying.

The best solution I've found is to highlight the text I want to copy. Then, I can select the text in the Notes panel and copy it without getting the citation stuff.
