Why pasting normally loses your formatting
When you copy formatted text, your clipboard holds two versions of it: plain text and HTML. Most plain-text editors take the plain text, which throws away every heading, list and table. This page reads the HTML version instead and converts that, so the structure survives the trip.
The editor does this too
Paste rich text into the main editor and it converts automatically, with Ctrl+Z restoring the plain paste if that is what you wanted. This page is the same conversion without opening a document first.
Common questions
- How do I paste formatted text as Markdown?
- Copy from Word, Google Docs, Notion or any web page, then paste into the left pane. The formatting behind your selection is converted and the Markdown appears on the right.
- Why does this work at all?
- When you copy formatted text, the clipboard holds two versions: plain text and HTML. Most editors take the plain text and lose the structure. This reads the HTML instead, so headings, lists and tables survive.
- Does it work from Google Docs?
- Yes. Select in the document, copy, and paste here. Headings, lists, tables, links and emphasis all carry across. No Google account or authorisation is involved because nothing talks to Google.
- Is anything sent anywhere?
- No. The clipboard is read by the page, converted in the tab, and displayed. Nothing about what you paste is transmitted or stored on a server.
- Can I do this while writing instead?
- Yes — the main editor does the same conversion automatically when you paste rich text into it, and Ctrl+Z once restores the original plain paste if you wanted that.
