How do I paste description (comments) without the html formatting?
Hi.
How do I paste description (comments) without the html formatting?
I'm trying, but even copying the description of the Notepad (Windows), the Calibre puts html formatting.
Tks.

Tks. Yes, but some formatting is not removed.

The comments window has 2 tabs, Normal view and HTML source.

If you're trying to just input plain text, change to HTML source and paste your text in there.

When you click OK, Calibre will add an opening and closing tag only. If there are multiple paragraphs, it'll be up to you to enter any additional tags to accommodate them.
