I know that markdown, html, bbcode, etc. is accepted. I just wanted to copy paste a document from google docs or microsoft word into a post in Discourse without losing the formatting. Is there a way to do this or a plugin?

Did you try it? Copying and pasting into the composer from a office suite software works out of the box.

Yes I tried it. Here is a sample Google docs that has a basic list of items: Warring Guide - Google Docs I copy pasted this and lost all my formatting. I tried exporting to html and then copy pasted and same thing.

Can you make that document public? I’d like to try it. I just did a quick test myself of google docs and can confirm that links and bold etc did not transfer over as I would have expected, though bullet points did.

The link is public now. Keeping the hierarchical structure with spacing is what I’m most concerned of. Bold I can do myself. I. Item 1 A. Item 2 1. Item 3

I see. Thank you. I do have DiscoTOC. I would like a mixture of both that you showed. The markdown showed the tabs beneath each lower level and the DiscoTOC decreased the font size gradually. I tried using this: https://word2md.com/ It didn’t work but at least it’s a start I can use to further mod…
