I wish to copy and paste this highlighted text from Discord into Discourse:
Here is what it looks like if I do so:

Hell-o, Divers! I wanted to take a moment this afternoon to let you all know that we’ve heard your concerns over the last few days regarding enemy spawns, enemy armor, and the ability to kill these enemies. As we’ve said before, our teams are always taking in player feedback and looking at how we can tweak the game to ensure that it is fair, enjoyable and provides the best experience for everyone. I can confirm that we’re currently looking at changes to the spawn rates and health pools of heavy enemies, and will be attempting to spread them out more to prevent large spikes of tougher mobs appearing at the same time, as well as making them a bit easier to bring down. This change should go out in a future hotfix - no date as of yet. In addition, we forgot to mention (oops) that the EAT-17 and Recoilless Rifle no longer suffer from a 50% damage decrease when hitting an armored enemy at a ‘glance angle’ that deflects the shot. Combined with the upcoming adjustment to health and spawn rates, this should make the larger enemies a bit less common, instead spawning more ‘chaff’ enemies to support them, and should allow players to bring these enemies down with a single well-placed shot. Hopefully this leads to less instances of endless kiting and players being left without any effective weaponry to kill harder enemies. Thanks as always for your patience!
It’s just one big paragraph.
If I instead first paste it into a text editor (e.g. notepad) and then copy+paste from there it looks like this:

Which is what I want, as it preserves then paragraph breaks.
I don’t know if Discourse, Discord, or Windows is to blame in this process. But it happens. I tested is in the latest Firefox and latest MS Edge, and the same thing happens, so I don’t think it’s the browser.
If I use something like ClipView or InsideClipboard I can see the following.

So I think it might be Discord’s fault for not putting in the
? Or is it your/browser’s fault for taking the HTML?
