Hmm, that's not a bad idea, though copying to the clipboard in a cross-platform way may be a pain.
How best to include plots in documents is something I need to document more thoroughly though.
This may or may not be helpful, but here is a document generation system in Gadfly that is designed to produce documents with a lot of code examples and plots. It works by writing normal markdown:
If you make a file like this.
# An example
This is an example of executable markdown.
```julia
using Gadfly
draw(SVG(4inch, 4inch), plot(sin, 0, 20))
```There is a script that comes with gadfly that will turn this into an html file with all the plots rendered and the julia code syntax highlighted. If you pass it the --self-contained flag, all the the images will be embedded directly in the document using data URIs.
So if you run:
~/.julia/bin/gadfly document.md > document.html
You'll get totally self contained html file with embedded images. This relies on having pandoc installed, though.

[ Maybe if copy to clipboard is difficult, and I think can be... Using embed() for open the code on the navigator instead of the plot for a easy copy&paste can be an option ? ]

Actually that's pretty easy to do. Instead of pointing the browser to the plot, it can use a view-source URI, and point it to view-source:file://some/temporary/file.html which would show the code for the plot that you can then copy and paste. I could add a viewsource function that does that.
But I'm really hesitant to try to do anything with the clipboard directly, it's hard to get right, much less right on multiple platforms.

Yes, but I believe that the code source is not exactly the same that is needed for copy&paste between a blog text. I don't have experience with that, so I can be wrong.

For example, I copy&paste the <div> of the <body> of the plot into the HTML of my blog post, but I see this:

But... Looks to be a problem between WordPress and the HTM, the same code on Blogger works fine:

What I says about the embed() o source() functions is generate the code without the header. Just ready for copy&paste inside a post or page.

Oh, that's interesting.
I found a wordpress bug report about inline svg. It seems they don't support it. So for wordpress, you'll have to save the plot to a file and include it using an <object> tag.

Thanks, I think I going to use blogger if I can SyntaxHighligter works on it.
Another similar stuff happens with view on Gmail if you attach the .html output file.
People who receives the mails and click view only see code instead of the plot.

I don't think the gmail issue is solvable. It looks like gmail doesn't support sending html email. Even if you send an html document as an attachment, it strips out anything it deems "unsafe", which is any javascript or anything embedded with the <object> tag.
The best option now is to put the plot somewhere and send a link. Once I fix the cairo backend, you'll also be able to send a PDF/PS/PNG file, which gmail might be less suspicious of.
