I couldn't get this to work either and retain syntax highlighting. I was
able to get it to work by exporting as PDF from LibreOffice after
pasting from the browser, but the downside was that in KWrite I use a
colored background, which came through to LO and then the PDF.

For me, KWrite -> export as HTML -> print as PS file -> import to
Scribus as vector works the best, and eliminates the extra step of
LibreOffice.

Perhaps there is some setting in LO to interpret the HTML markup.
