I really wish the LW editor would strip font specifications out of the HTML when I do a paste into its editor while creating a new post. It’s a pain in the ass to have to go thru the raw HTML by hand and strip out all the font specifications. I have never yet wanted to copy the fonts from quotes and links that I’ve copy-pasted.
Doh! I forgot about that. ’Coz it is indicated by an eraser icon.
When I use it, it looks like it isn’t working—it resizes everything to a tiny font, and converts all quotes to indents. Inspecting the HTML, it looks like it’s done the right thing. I’ll have to test it some to decide whether I trust it.
Fixing that tool to not change what’s displayed so much would be perfect.
You could copy and paste into a (plain ordinary) text editor first, and then from there into the LW editor. Or would that remove more formatting than you want removed?

Didn’t there use to be a formatting stripping button?

I usually “paste as plain text” (depending on the browser. I use chrome)
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS

I do this.
