For some reason I cannot paste this block of text in any textarea in the browser. It's not even a large content but pasting does not work.
You can try copy/paste the text here:

Copy all text and paste it, it will not paste. but if you copy partially and paste. It works.

I am implementing the text highlight function when searching for a specific string, everything seems to work fine until, that is, the search is correct, the markup in the text layer is also correct, but when it comes to highlighting the text in the document this does not happen. I'm using the recipe as is, and I've also loaded the textlayer css. Any ideas to try. Thanks for the help
I am creating a PO form for my department. I have 2 cells merged with text wrap for the item description. If I copy a product name from Amazon and paste it into these merged cells, the merge breaks and text does not wrap. If I take the same text and paste into google search bar and then recopy the text and paste into the merged cells everything functions as normal. It does not appear to be the length of text but rather the font size that is the issue. Paste special- values only also fixes the problem but I am trying to make this form usable without special instructions. Does anyone have a work around or at least confirm font size can break a cell merge?
Font size is not relevant. You're copying a special character (likely a newline) at the end of the product name, which causes the merged cells to split.
There isn't anything you can do on your side to fix this, copy pasting formatted text directly from a webpage into your sheet will lead to things breaking.
A few options:
Double click on the merged cell, then paste the text into it
Select the merged cell and paste the values into the formula bar
Paste Special - Values
Answer:
I can confirm this does happen.
Workaround:
Instead of merging cells like this:
You can just use one cell and expand its width:
Fixing Font Size:
The only issue here is that if you paste in some text which is font size 18 and Times New Roman, if you don't use the Right Click > Paste Special > Paste values only then the text decoration will persist. You can fix this with a little script which changes the font to normal on edit:
function onEdit(e) {
e.range.setFontSize(10)
.setFontWeight("normal")
.setFontFamily("Arial")
.setFontColor("black")
}
This you will need to paste into the script editor for your sheet, by following the Tools > Script editor menu item. Once pasted, you will need to save the script with Ctrl+S. Anything pasted will now automatically be converted to Arial, size 10, black, normal weight font:
I want to create a very simple markdown editor with contentEditable and execCommand. I can only find examples where you select a text and press a button to make the selected text bold (or other stuff). But I would like to be able to write **bold text** and that it automatically makes the text between ** bold. Same like the editor from stackoverflow, but I don't want the ** to be removed. They should still be there, but maybe in another style. I don't know how to do it. Do you do that with Regex or how?
I have around 25 words, which I need to copy into clipboard (25 different for each category). At first I've made a textView, but it is not possible to copy it into clipboard. So I used a textField, but it doesnt look good, because it has only one line and it doesnt show all of the words.
Is there any way I can make textField multiline or any way to copy content of textView?
Thank you for your reply.
In my application I have a contentEditable UIWebView.
When I use copy: and then paste: functions, and examine the html generated, i see that the paste code is insterted in a "font tag" that change the appearence of the page.
For example: I copy an h1 tag with some text, when i paste it, and examine the html i see that this h1 tag is inserted in "font" tag that use "Times" and it is resized to "3".
I have examined the UIPasteboard but the code inside it is correct.
How can i solve my issue?
Please, it is very important.
Cheers
This is a bug in UIWebView. If your contenteditable element has no font-size style specified, the content is pasted correctly.
