What should I know about Plain Text Converter?
Paste formatted content with your keyboard to capture its HTML, or paste HTML markup directly. Numbered and bulleted lists are converted to text markers; nested lists use tabs, and table cells use tabs. Script, style and embedded content are excluded. CSS-generated content and layout cannot always be reproduced. Choose plain text mode to preserve literal angle brackets and existing tabs.
