Not necessarily related to your main point, but you could have downloaded a markdown-based text editor and pasting what you copied into it, and they’ll convert the text to Markdown, which Discord uses. A couple of them should support automatic formatting of HTML text to Markdown.
For example, I copied a portion of the article and pasted it into Obsidian (a markdown-based note system), and it formatted the text into Markdown for me. This is what it looked like in Discord:
Discord only supports the first 3 levels of headings so the subheading doesn’t format, but everything else is fine. When I compared it with your richtext editor, it matched perfectly.
On the other hand, Obsidian doesn’t have an option to convert Markdown to rich text, if you want to copy-paste the other way around (say from obsidian to gdocs). Would be nice if it did.
Ah, thank you! Sounds like Obsidian users will find this more convenient than eat-the-richtext. Maybe we could start a list of other editors or tools that solve this problem...
