I’m finish editing markdown in my VSCode and paste it to the topic editor. Then empty line is inserted between every lines. It is annoying that my unordered lists and reference blocks broke into multi parts. I have searched the forum and didn’t find the same problem. Any workaround?

Hello, I think the problem is that the copied text is formatted. I found here a solution: Copy-paste code from Visual Studio, but paste UNFORMATTED code - Stack Overflow Go to Settings > Search for editor.copyWithSyntaxHighlighting and turn off. This is worked for me. :slightly_smiling_face:

I tried and it works.

Ctrl+Shift+v for the plain text paste shortcut (some don’t know!).
