How to paste as plain-text in Sigil?

elenderg · 09-26-2016, 09:43 AM

Hi everybody, I don't know if this is the right place to post, so please forgive me. I was used to paste in Sigil and always received the message if I wanted to paste as plain-text. For some reason the message isn't showing anymore. How to undo this?

If you are in Code view, you are pasting plain text. (Tags are just more text)

Use the <pre> tag around the text if you don't want it styled.

I'm in book view. I just would like that pop-up box to appear again...

What are you copying from?

In other words ... if you already have plain text in the clipboard, you won't get that prompt. You only get the pop-up prompt when there's some kind of html formatted text in the clipboard waiting to be pasted. Like stuff copied from Word.
