My biggest problem with things like that is there's still all the mental overhead of styling clutter. You copy and paste something from a webpage and it's all mangled.
I think half the success of markdown is identifying a useful subset of html/document languages and saying "this is your whole featureset, everything else is out of scope for composition".
- krastanov 6y agoCtrl+shift+P is "unstyled paste" on many systems. It is what I use when copying between documents/webpages/etc.
- spurgu 6y agoCtrl+Shift+V (or Cmd+Shift+V on Mac) usually does the trick.
- krastanov 6y agoWell, that was a stupid typo of mine, of course it is V, not P. Too late to edit that post.
- Pxtl 6y agoWorks on far too few things. I find I just paste into notepad more often than not. But then you lose styling you like such as hyperlinks, bullets, bold/italic-for-emphasis, etc. Which comes back to Markdown, which is the "useful subset".
