Paste from Discourse to Google Doc loses bold

Appreciate you checking. Helps to know another config is seeing the same issue.

I did some CSS testing. Here on Discourse:

b, strong {
font-weight: bolder;
}

If I changed to:

b, strong {
font-weight: 700;
}

then the bold copies over to Google Docs just fine! Even shows as [B] in the toolbar. Oh, and “font-weight: bold;” also works, just not bolder!

I went to /admin/customize/themes/1/common/scss/edit and added b, strong { font-weight: bold; } – now it works for pasting bold! Yay!!

Anyway, at least it looks like a CSS compatibility issue between Discourse and Google Docs for the pasting of bold. Whew!
