Strip HTML off of Text

[behzad]

A while back one of the members gave a link about a program that helps strips anything that is copied in HTML from Text.
This would be great help to me when copying and pasting text and without having to go through the dialogues that open up in Xara.

Anyone knows where I can locate that thread or link? If not! do you have a better idea. I copy and paste large text and need a better way
to strip all the formatting.

Paste as Unformatted Text.

I do but i do not want to keep selecting that option.

It does not matter because you have to select one or the other option when you paste text. AFAIK there is no way to just paste unformatted text. Even if you bring the text into WordPad and copy and paste you have to chose between Rich Text Format, Unformatted Text, or Enhanced Metafile.

Yes I understand but there was a guy who put a link to a program that sits in your computer and does all of this.

There is a plugin called for chrome Copy as Plain Text.
Kinda does that.

behzad, open a new Post or Thread or Post Quick Reply to one in TG.

Open the Paste as plain text window and use that (Toolbar > third icon from left).

Could it have been PureText ?
It's also in the app store.

It's also in the app store.

Its blurb states it doesn't remove all HTML tagging.

Thanks, so far the chrome plugin works the best. Thanks again for trying.
