[Improvement] Copy-paste: preserve formatting & images

Currently when copy/pasting content from an external source (eg: MSWord, email, web page) towards a Capacities page, 2 aspects are lost when pasting:

  • rich text copied and pasted into a Capacities page loses its formatting: text color and highlighting is lost, and the hierarchy of bullets & paragraphs is not entirely carried over: only the L1 bullets are pasted, any bullet nested below (L2, L3 etc) is thrown back to L1. I think only bold and L1 bullets are taken into account
  • images are not pasted

See an example attached: on the left an MSWord doc, the content is copied and pasted into a Capacities page (on the right)

The idea of this improvement is to preserve the rich text formatting and images pasted from the clipboard, so that users can easily import content from external sources by copy/paste

This would also greatly help migration of content from legacy note-taking apps

I will support this ticket because I am in most of the cases losing the format when coping to capacities. A little bit anoying.

Even hyperlinks are lost when copying from Notion over to Capacities.

Steps:

Write 500 words markdown text in Notion including hyperlinks. Copy entire note in Notion and paste in Capacities. Hyperlinks are lost. Capacities should fix this bug. It is not a feature request. Same continues over to word document.
