Looks like it's actually updating the clipboard and writing to the text file, but adding --style full fails to include the styles when writing content

By any chance, is there a file called rendering in the working directory?

When piping to another program, bat will disable decorations and colors by default. You can add --decorations=always to add decorations back, and --color=always to add color escape sequences back.

D'oh! Can confirm, there was a folder called rendering

hierarchy.mdx      media.mdx    quickstart.mdx    signals.mdx     tweening.mdx

Can also confirm that bat * --paging never --decorations=always | Set-Clipboard properly preserves the decorations.
Thank you!
