Forum:Pasting Formatted Text

I desperately need a way to paste formatted text into an article. It was a horrible idea to do away with that. Is there anything that can be done as a loophole? 01:54, August 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Learn Wikitext. Pasting anything into the visual editor is a crap shoot. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 26 Aug 2011 8:45 PM Pacific


 * Yeah WikiText isn't for copying and pasting pages of formatted text onto an article though...Like I previously asked: Is there anything that can be done as a loophole? 16:21, August 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know exactly what you want but you can use  and   pre to put formatted text.
 * If you need a whole section of text to have a format just like it has in the original then your best choice is to save that piece of text as html and then edit the html to extract the part you want (with the html formatting) and then past it to the wiki.
